This small coastal community is located near the border with Colombia. It is the home for a tourism consortium named "Tropi" by the locals, which forms the only business of the village. The remainder of the economy consists of fishing and subsistence farming. The small town lies beside the Bahía Piña, a narrow bay between two promontories that is frequented by humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins.
