Audio Guide of Technological University of Chocó Museum

The museum generally operates during the university’s administrative hours, from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We recommend checking the academic calendar on the official Technological University of Chocó website before your visit.

In general, access to the cultural and scientific exhibitions within the university is free for both students and outside visitors. However, you must register at the main gate and present a valid ID.

A full visit usually lasts between 45 minutes and one hour. It is a concise but information-rich tour about the biodiversity and culture of Chocó, ideal to combine with other activities in Quibdó.

This space is essential for understanding the immense richness of the Chocó Biogeographic Region. You will find collections highlighting rainforest biodiversity, as well as ethnographic items that tell the story of the region’s Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities.

The best time to visit is in the morning from Tuesday to Thursday during the academic semester, when more staff are available to guide you. Avoid university vacation periods (June-July and December-January), as the facilities may be closed.

The university campus has access ramps in its main areas, although accessibility to specific rooms may vary. It is recommended to ask the security staff at the entrance for assistance in finding the most convenient routes.

While you are in the city, take the opportunity to visit the impressive Saint Francis of Assisi Cathedral and stroll along the riverfront promenade on the banks of the Atrato River, where you can enjoy the breeze and local cuisine.

Wear light, comfortable clothing due to Quibdó’s high humidity, and do not forget to bring your physical ID for the security check. If you are interested in botany or history, bring a notebook, as the information is highly academic and valuable.
