Farallones de Cali National Natural Park

The national park extends across 196,429 hectares of mountainous terrain, separating the Pacific Ocean watershed from the Cauca River drainage system.

The establishment of Farallones de Cali National Natural Park in 1968 marked a crucial step in protecting Colombia's natural heritage and water resources.

Indigenous Cholo communities from the Choco group maintain their traditional lifestyle in the lower river areas toward the Pacific region of the park.

Visitors need to hire local expert guides to access authorized trails and bring appropriate hiking gear, including ankle-protecting boots and weather-resistant clothing.

The park contains four thermal floors with distinct ecosystems, from tropical rainforest at 200 meters to paramo vegetation above 3,500 meters altitude.
