Munchique National Natural Park, Protected area in Cauca Department, Colombia

Munchique is a protected mountain park in the western Andes where numerous waterfalls and streams flow through dense vegetation across steep terrain. The landscape rises through different elevation zones, each supporting distinct plant and animal communities from tropical to cloud forest environments.

The park was declared a national natural park in May 1977, covering 440 km2 on the western slopes of the Cordillera Occidental in El Tambo, 61 km from Popayán. Its name comes from the Munchique mountain in the southeast of the reserve. In 1972, before the park's creation, the Santuario de los Pharomachrus was established over 3,000 hectares for quetzals and later became part of the park.

The park takes its name from the Cerro Munchique, a peak usually wrapped in clouds. The Munchique wood-wren, a bird new to science found here in 2003, was named after the park. The reserve also grew out of the Santuario de los Pharomachrus, created in 1972 over 3,000 hectares for the quetzals of the genus Pharomachrus.

Public transport from Popayán runs daily to the hamlet of La Romelia, where the park's administrative centre has two cabins sleeping ten each and a camping area with gas stoves. The park is among Colombia's least visited because access is difficult. Rain is heaviest in December and lightest from June to August.

The bird found here in 2003 was a wren, named the Munchique wood-wren (Henicorhina negreti) after the park. It was described as new to science, and its scientific name honours the ornithologist who collected the first specimens.
