Enjoy the National Bagpipe Festival

Quibdó is home to one of those celebrations that is truly worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime: the San Francisco de Asís festival, or the “San Pacho” festival, which was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2012. ​

This festivity brings together the best of Chocó’s culinary, musical, and cultural traditions. Through dances and theatrical performances, the city commemorates its Afro-American heritage and Hispanic colonial past.
