Caura National Park

Caura National Park spans 75,340 square kilometers of tropical rainforest, containing diverse plant species such as mahogany, carob trees, and araguaney.

The Venezuelan government initiated conservation efforts in 1968, leading to the formal establishment of Caura National Park in March 2017 under President Nicolás Maduro.

The national park territory includes areas where indigenous communities maintain traditional practices while depending on natural resources for their way of life.

Access to the park requires careful planning as facilities are limited, and transportation typically involves river travel or forest trekking with guided assistance.

This Venezuelan national park ranks as the largest protected area in the country, hosting species like jaguars, tapirs, spider monkeys, and numerous turkey varieties.
