Monte Alén National Park

Monte Alén National Park spans 2000 square kilometers of tropical rainforest with peaks reaching 1250 meters in elevation and Lake Atoc in its center.

The national park received its official designation in 1990, marking the first substantial step toward protecting the biodiversity of central Equatorial Guinea.

The protected area contains 105 mammal species, including 16 primate species, which local guides help visitors discover through established forest paths.

The national park requires visitors to arrange guided tours in advance and bring sufficient water and food supplies due to limited facilities.

The park shelters the largest amphibian on Earth, the Goliath frog, which measures up to 32 centimeters and remains protected from hunting.
