A nearby option for sun and beach for those visiting the Pacific region of Valle del Cauca is Juanchaco, Ladrilleros, and La Barra, just half an hour by speedboat from Buenaventura. There you will find wide and clean beaches with green water, such as El Choncho, to the north of the San Juan River mouths; and the Los Negritos reef, off Juanchaco, a spot chosen by divers.
