Tunari National Park, National park in Cochabamba Department, Bolivia

The protected area spans 300,000 hectares across five provinces, featuring mountainous terrain with altitudes ranging from 2,200 to 4,000 meters above sea level.

The park gained national park status through Supreme Decree 6045 in March 1962 due to annual flooding issues affecting nearby municipalities during rainy seasons.

Within the park boundaries, 100 rural communities of Aymara and Quechua people maintain traditional practices through agriculture and sheep herding activities.

The park maintains average temperatures of 12°C with annual rainfall below 600mm, making spring and autumn the most suitable seasons for visiting.

The area houses four endemic bird species, including the endangered Cochabamba Mountain Finch, which lives exclusively in the native Polylepis besseri forest.
