Estación de Servicio Shell Buenaventura Puerto

The final dependable fuel station before the wild Pacific coast stretches north into Chocó, this Shell station stocks diesel, gasoline, and basic supplies for coastal expeditions. Clean bathrooms, tire pressure check, and a small tienda with canned goods and water. Attendants know the coastal road conditions and can advise on current bridge status heading toward Nuquí.

Open 24 hours with security guards after dark. Stock up here — the next reliable fuel is 180 kilometers north in Istmina, and coastal communities often run dry during rainy season. Credit cards accepted but carry cash as backup.
