Puinawai Natural Reserve, Protected natural reserve in Guainía Department, Colombia.

Puinawai Natural Reserve is a protected area in Guainía Department that spans a large territory with tropical rainforests, rivers, and open savannas at varying elevations. These different landscapes create distinct habitats where various vegetation types thrive.

This protected area was established in 1989 and forms an important part of the conservation system in the region. Its creation coincided with the recognition of major indigenous territories in this area.

Several indigenous communities have settlements and hunting grounds throughout this protected area. Their traditional way of life is visible to visitors who observe how they use the land and maintain their connection to nature.

The area is crossed by several rivers that play an important role in transportation and navigation. Visitors should be aware that the terrain is wet and challenging, requiring good preparation.

The flora of this reserve is exceptionally diverse, with hundreds of plant species found nowhere else in the world except within this specific geological area. This makes it a valuable place for botanical research and nature conservation.
