Capurganá is a Colombian Corregimiento with 1222 inhabitants (as of 2005), mostly descendants of African slaves, in the Municipio Acandí of the Chocó department on the northwest side of the Gulf of Urabá .
Capurganá, in the language of the Kuna Indians, the “land of red chili pepper”, is the border town to the Panamanian border station Puerto Obaldía, one hour away by sea, and tries to attract tourists. There are no road connections. The boat trip to Turbo on the other side of the gulf takes two hours. Some seaplanes maintain connections.
