Terepaima National Park, National park in Lara State, Venezuela
Terepaima National Park is a protected area in the eastern Andes with mountains, valleys, and rivers shaped by cloud forests. The terrain spans across varying elevations, displaying different forest types as the land rises and falls.
The park was established in 1976 to protect water sources and forests in the region. This creation was part of an effort to safeguard natural resources for future generations.
Local communities practice traditional ways of living within the park and share their knowledge about the forest with those who visit. Their connection to the land shows how people have learned to live alongside nature here.
You can reach the park from Cabudare or Sarare via roads or river routes. Which way works best depends on which part of the park you want to explore and how much time you have.
Temperature shifts with elevation create habitats for rare animals like spectacled bears and jaguars. These conditions make the park a crucial place for species found nowhere else in the region.
