The only South American nation touched by two oceans
In short: Explore the Chocó region, a land of extreme rainfall and isolated rainforests. This documentary captures the unique biodiversity of Colombia's wild coast, revealing why this relatively small country is a global powerhouse of life.
Colombia holds the distinction of being the second most biologically diverse country on Earth, supporting approximately 14 percent of all world species. It notably contains more vertebrate and bird species than any other location on the planet.
The Chocó region serves as a primary example of this diversity. Isolated by the Andes, its rainforests host endemic and undiscovered species. The area is recognized as the wettest place on Earth and is unique in South America for being bathed by both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
