Cabo Corrientes, Chocó

Cabo Corrientes is a cape on the Pacific coast of Colombia in the Chocó Department.

[1] The cape is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of the Quebrada de Togoromá.

The coast to the south has a chain of low barrier islands, less than 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high, behind which there are lagoons, mangrove swamps and a narrow belt of freshwater swamps.

[2] The cape divides the Esmeraldes-Pacific Colombia mangroves ecoregion into two large zones, one to the north and the other to the south.

[3] Cabo Corrientes is close to Nuquí, to the north, where the government is planning to build a major port.
