Mariquita Travel Guide
Colombia
Mariquita is a small town in Colombia with a population of 23,104. It lies inland in the country’s central region, rather than on the coast, so it is a practical base for exploring the surrounding area rather than a beach destination.
Travellers arriving by air can use Mariquita Airport (MQU). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so plan coastal activities elsewhere. The town has a warm tropical climate, with generally similar conditions through much of the year.
