Quibdó – Nuquí Train

The "Chocó Regional Train" railway project will connect the maritime port with the municipality of Quibdó on the Atrato river, with a length close to 90 km, several tunnels and bridges. Near Quibdó, a dry or transfer terminal would be developed to handle cargo from the Port of Tribugá travelling to and from southern and central Antioquia, the Coffee Region, the centre of the country and, to a lesser extent, northern Valle del Cauca and the Colombian Caribbean coast.

Benefits for the region

The new rail freight system will bring:

  • More cargo transport options for industries that export and import through Pacific and even Caribbean ports, through land and multimodal connectivity.
  • Better logistics performance and greater industrial competitiveness. The railway complements the current logistics chain and improves its efficiency.
  • Savings of approximately one million tonnes of CO₂ per year and 60% of the fuel needed to move the expected cargo volume.
  • A key project within the regional and national infrastructure development plan.
