Venezuela's oldest national park protecting cloud forests and Caribbean coastline

Henri Pittier National Park

Henri Pittier National Park is the oldest national park in Venezuela, established in 1937 under the name Rancho Grande by decree of President Eleazar López Contreras. The park was renamed in 1953 to honor Henri Pittier, a distinguished Swiss geographer, botanist, and ethnologist who arrived in Venezuela in 1917 and devoted much of his life to studying the country's flora and fauna. Spanning approximately 107,800 hectares along the Venezuelan Coastal Range, the park encompasses most of the northern Aragua state and extends into Carabobo state, making it the largest national park in this coastal mountain system. The park features two distinct geographic systems: a steep, rugged mountainous interior rising to 2,346 meters at Pico Cenizo, and a coastal zone with bays, beaches, and resort areas. Its cloud forest ecosystems and marine-coastal environments support extraordinary biodiversity, including over 500 bird species representing more than 40 percent of Venezuela's total avian fauna.
