Quibdó's climate is
equatorial, that is, hot, humid and rainy all year round.
The
rains are extremely abundant, and occur almost every day. In fact, Quibdó is one of the wettest cities in the world. The rains are so abundant because warm, humid Pacific currents reach the plain and then rise when they meet the Andes, which lie to the east.
The city is located in the west of Colombia, in the Colombian Pacific region, at 5 degrees north latitude, where the Quito River flows into the Atrato River.
Best Time
Given the extremely high level of rainfall, there is no good time to visit Quibdó, however, you can choose the period from January to March, during which the rains are a little less abundant and a little less frequent than in the rest of the year.
