Los Katíos National Park, Natural World Heritage Site in northwestern Colombia.
The national park spans 72,000 hectares across Chocó and Antioquia departments, featuring tropical rainforests, wetlands, mountains, and river floodplains.
The Colombian government established Los Katíos National Park in 1974, expanding its territory from 52,000 to 72,000 hectares by 1979.
The Wounaan indigenous community Juin Phubur maintains traditional practices within the park boundaries alongside Afro-Colombian and campesino communities.
The park administration in Sautatá provides guided tours through designated trails, requiring advance planning due to the remote location.
The park contains the catival forest formation, where native cativo trees reach 50 meters in height, found only in Colombia, southern Central America, and Jamaica.
