A biodiversity-rich protected area in Colombia's Darién Gap, protecting crucial habitats where Central and South American species intersect

Los Katíos National Natural Park

Los Katíos National Natural Park is a protected area spanning approximately 720 square kilometers along the border region of northwestern Colombia, encompassing parts of both Antioquia and Chocó departments. The park sits within the famous Darién Gap, a vast tract of contiguous tropical forest that extends into Panama, forming one of the most ecologically significant corridors in the Americas. Established in 1974, Los Katíos protects a remarkably diverse landscape ranging from the rugged Serranía del Darién mountains in the western portion to the fertile Atrato River floodplains in the east, with extensive swampy marshes covering nearly half of its total area. The park's extraordinary biodiversity earned it UNESCO World Heritage status in 1994, recognizing its role as a critical center of endemism where species from North and South America converge. The region's position on the southern edge of the Central American land bridge has made it a natural pathway for species exchange throughout geological time, creating a unique ecological blend found nowhere else in South America.
