Paramillo National Natural Park

The Paramillo National Natural Park extends across 504,014 hectares, ranging from tropical rainforests at 125 meters to high-altitude páramos at 3,960 meters above sea level.

The land, previously owned by private families during Antioquia colonization, was acquired by the government to establish a protected natural reserve for biodiversity conservation.

Indigenous communities Embera-Katios and Embera Chamí maintain their ancestral territories within the park boundaries, acting as environmental guardians while preserving their traditions.

The park contains the headwaters of major rivers including Sinú, Manso, Tigre, Esmeralda, and Verde, providing essential water resources to the surrounding regions.

The reserve hosts 1,436 species of flora and fauna within just 10% of its territory, including 755 flowering plant species and 60 endemic fish species.
