San Cipriano is tiny town of 500 inhabitants close to Buenaventura in western Colombia. The town is in a humid subtropical forest, and therefore the weather is characterized by frequent rain and humid, warm daytime temperatures. Ethnically, the town is almost 100% composed of Colombians of African descent. Regarding the flora and fauna, the area is characterized by species native the region: toucans and subtropical birds, snakes, monkeys, and several wild species of mammals.
The only connection to the town is by railway. Due to the lack of trains, locals have set up their own ingenious transportation system with motorbike-propelled or human-powered vehicles that use the train tracks.
