Trifinio Biosphere Reserve

The Trifinio Biosphere Reserve is a Guatemalan protected area located at the point where the borders of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras meet. The prefix 'tri' in its name reflects this three-country convergence in the remote highlands of southeastern Guatemala. The reserve protects the Guatemalan portion of the Montecristo massif, a mountainous area covered in dense cloud forest dominated by tall oak and laurel trees. It forms the Guatemalan section of the larger transboundary biosphere reserve that links the neighboring countries in a coordinated effort to safeguard one of Central America's most important montane ecosystems. Established in 1987, the reserve is internationally recognized for its role in preserving rare highland flora and fauna within a sustainable use framework. It remains a key example of regional cooperation in conservation across Central America's shared borderlands.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
