Getting to Nuquí's city center

Nuquí is served by Reyes Murillo Airport (NQU), a small regional airstrip located approximately 1 km north of the town center. Due to Nuquí's remote location on Colombia's Pacific coast, airport transfers to city center are straightforward but limited in options. The town is not accessible by road from the rest of Colombia, making air travel the primary means of arrival. Transport options from the airport include walking, mototaxis, and hotel pickup services. Journey times are minimal given the short distance, typically under 10 minutes.

Notes:

  • Prices in COP; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Nuquí is a remote coastal town with limited formal transport infrastructure.
  • Most eco-lodges and hotels arrange airport pickups; confirm arrangements before arrival.
  • Mototaxi fares are negotiable; agree on price before departure.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites and contacting your accommodation for your travel planning.
