Abstract
This article proposes to analyze the novel The End of the Pacific Ocean by Tomás González from an ecocritical perspective in which a framework of understanding of the Pacific territory is drawn. The rhythm, determined by the rain in the work, weaves together the social and cultural context on which the political damage of decades weighs. The text thus generates experiences of critical understanding in the face of exploitation and extractivism present in the Chocó jungle: rain, as a bioclimatic element and complementary axis of analysis of ecocriticism, is a product of narrative asymmetries that guide the cycle of events and is a hidden thread that, only towards the end, is placed under the overhead light of death both in the environment and in the jungle itself.
