Sumapaz Natural Park, Protected area in Cordillera Oriental, Colombia.

The Sumapaz Natural Park spans 210,739 hectares across Bogotá, Cundinamarca, and Meta departments, containing both páramo ecosystems and Andean forests.

The Colombian government established Sumapaz Natural Park in June 1977 to protect the world's largest páramo complex and its crucial water resources.

Local communities participate in conservation projects like Common Gardens and Biodiversity Farms, sharing traditional knowledge about the park's ecosystem management.

Access to the páramo zone starts 23 kilometers from Usme locality, requiring guided visits and following specific safety protocols for high-altitude environments.

The park's elevation ranges from 700 to 4,250 meters, supporting endemic species such as mountain tapirs, páramo rabbits, and yellow-eared parrots.
