In Riosucio, Chocó—a remote town along the Atrato River—residents rely on the river as a crucial lifeline. Nestled near Los Katíos National Park, Riosucio, with a population of 10,000, has limited road infrastructure, once counting on just one red jeep for local transport. The Atrato River, stretching over 500 kilometers, connects Colombia’s Pacific lowlands with its Caribbean coast.
