Cabo Corrientes is at the southern end of the Gulf of Tribugá.[1] The cape is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of the Quebrada de Togoromá. The coast to the south has a chain of low barrier islands, less than 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high, behind which there are lagoons, mangrove swamps and a narrow belt of freshwater swamps.[2] The cape divides the Esmeraldes-Pacific Colombia mangroves ecoregion into two large zones, one to the north and the other to the south.[3]
Cabo Corrientes is close to Nuquí, to the north, where the government is planning to build a major port.[4]
