La Paya Natural National Park

Located in the Putumayo department, La Paya Natural National Park spans 440,101 hectares of tropical rainforest with mountains, rivers, and wetlands.

The park territory belonged to Cofán, Siona, and Secoya indigenous communities who maintained connections with the Amazon rainforest through generations.

Local indigenous communities preserve traditional methods of sustainable resource management and share their knowledge through guided experiences in the park.

Access to the park requires arrangements with authorized tour operators, and visitors need protection against tropical diseases and insects during their stay.

The park contains Laguna La Paya, where endangered charapa turtles nest alongside numerous species of Amazon wildlife in untouched forest environments.
