Santurbán-Salazar de las Palmas Regional Park, Protected natural area in Norte de Santander Department, Colombia.

Santurbán-Salazar de las Palmas Regional Park covers 190.88 km² in the upper Río Zulia and Río Sardinata basins, from 1,160 to 3,925 metres on the Santurbán massif. Dense high Andean forest covers 83.3% of the area, with páramo grassland at 6.4% and natural lagoons; 97% of the land keeps natural cover.

The area received official protection status in 2013 through regional environmental authorities as a measure to safeguard the mountain ecosystems and water sources of the region. This designation marked an important step in conservation efforts for these sensitive ecological zones in northeastern Colombia.

The park's water feeds the Tasajero thermal power station, Cúcuta's aqueduct, the Zulia irrigation district and some 16,000 hectares of coffee. Its streams yield an estimated average flow of 12 cubic metres per second. The protected area covers parts of the hamlets of La Amarilla, Pomarrosos, Campo Nuevo Sur, Quebrada Honda-Laureano Gómez, Batatal, Sanguino, Los Andes and Santa Rosa.

You can reach the area through several gateway points in different municipalities and should prepare for mountainous terrain with changing conditions. It is wise to gather information about local conditions before visiting and bring proper gear suited to high altitude environments.

The area plays a vital role in supplying water to distant populations, with natural moss species here contributing to critical water storage and regulation. These plants filter and store water that then reaches communities across the region.
