Catatumbo Barí National Natural Park

The park extends across 158,125 hectares of land, containing tropical and sub-Andean forests with trees reaching heights of up to 60 meters.

The Colombian government established this protected area through Resolution 102 in November 1988, designating it as indigenous territory for the Barí communities.

The Barí indigenous people maintain several villages within the park, including Okbadukayra, Ikiakarora, and Suerena, preserving their traditional ways of life.

The park spans multiple municipalities including Convención, El Carmen, San Calixto, Tibú, and Teorama, with elevations ranging from 70 to 2000 meters.

The park connects with Venezuela's Sierra de Perijá natural park, creating an international corridor for more than 500 bird species.
