Santos Luzardo National Park

Santos Luzardo National Park spans 5,844 square kilometers between the Capanaparo and Cinaruco rivers, forming a protected zone near the Colombian border.

President Jaime Lusinchi established this national park through a presidential decree on February 24, 1988, marking a step in Venezuelan conservation efforts.

The National Institute of Parks of Venezuela manages this reserve, which contains multiple indigenous plant species including saladillo, conger, oak, and caramacate trees.

Visitors need to bring essential supplies such as food, water, and camping equipment, as the park offers limited facilities in its remote location.

The park maintains a population density of less than two people per square kilometer, allowing native species of jaguars and Orinoco caimans to thrive.
