Sipí is a small town and a municipality located in the Chocó Department of Colombia. It is a place known for its very wet and warm weather.
Long ago, in 1853, an artist named Manuel María Paz painted a picture of a house in Sipí. This painting shows how homes were built back then. It featured a house on a raised platform with a tree trunk used as steps. This artwork is now kept safe at the National Library of Colombia.
