Los Colorados Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, Flora and fauna sanctuary in San Juan Nepomuceno, Colombia
The sanctuary encompasses 1000 hectares of tropical dry forest in the Montes de Maria mountains, protecting native vegetation and providing habitat for endangered species.
The sanctuary received official protection status in June 1977, named after the red howler monkeys that inhabit the forested slopes of the region.
The protected area functions as a research center for biological studies and environmental education, contributing to local conservation awareness and scientific knowledge.
Visitors need appropriate footwear for the trails, insect repellent, and sun protection, while access requires registration at the operational headquarters in San Juan Nepomuceno.
The sanctuary houses 280 bird species, including 45 migratory ones, and contains one of the best-preserved dry tropical forest sections in the Colombian Caribbean.
