Bu Gia Map National Park, National park in Bình Phước Province, Vietnam
Bu Gia Map National Park is a protected forest reserve in Bình Phước Province covering primary woodland with areas reaching up to 700 meters in elevation. Two main rivers flow through the park, creating corridors of water and habitat throughout the landscape.
The park was officially established in 2002, elevating an existing conservation area to national park status. This transformation marked a turning point for protecting endangered species in the region.
Local communities have long valued this forest for medicinal plants used in traditional healing methods passed down through generations. Visitors can see how the forest remains integral to local knowledge and practices today.
Visitors must explore the park with a local guide who knows the trails and safety procedures. The best time to visit is from November to April, when dry weather makes hiking more comfortable.
The park is home to rare primates including a distinctive species with black coloring found in very few other locations. These animals make the place particularly valuable for wildlife researchers and visitors seeking to observe them.
