Chiribiquete National Park
Chiribiquete National Park is located in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia. Established in 1989, it covers over 2.7 million hectares, making it one of the largest protected areas in the country. The park is known for its unique tabletop mountains, or "tepuis," which rise dramatically from the surrounding landscape. It is home to diverse ecosystems and a wide variety of plant and animal species, some of which are endemic to the region.
The park is also significant for its rich cultural heritage, featuring ancient rock art created by indigenous peoples. These paintings, found in various caves and cliffs, provide insight into the history and beliefs of the Amazonian tribes. Chiribiquete National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018, highlighting its global importance for biodiversity and cultural preservation.
