Gorgona is a Colombian island in the Pacific Ocean situated about 18 nM off the Colombian Pacific coast. Gorgona functioned as a prison from 1959 until 1984 when it was turned into a National Natural Park. A main attraction is the humpbacked whales which come to mate there between June and October.
