Yariguíes National Park, National park in Santander, Colombia

The park extends across 78,837 hectares of mountainous terrain with cloud forests, wetlands, and paramo regions at different elevations within the Andean Eastern Ranges.

The Colombian government established Yariguíes National Park in 2005 to protect the natural resources and wildlife that inhabited these mountains for centuries.

The national park bears the name of the Yariguíes indigenous people who lived independently in this mountain range until the Spanish colonization period.

Visitors can access the park through designated hiking trails, with several observation points offering views of the surrounding Andean landscapes and waterfalls.

Over 400 bird species inhabit the forests of Yariguíes National Park, making it an essential location for ornithological research in South America.
