 INFORMATION

Chiribiquete national park, the largest protected area in Colombia, is the confluence point of four
biogeographical provinces: Amazon, Andes, Orinoco and Guyana.
Following its extension in 2013, the park is now the largest national park in Colombia at 2,782,354
hectares and is very large by global standards for protected areas.
One of the most impressive defining features of Chiribiquete is the presence of many tepuis which
are table-top mountains, found only in the Guiana Shield, notable for their high levels of endemism.

Chiribiquete is home to many iconic species including Jaguar, Puma, Lowland Tapir, Giant Otter,
Howler Monkey, Brown Woolly Monkey.
