Wildlife attractions in Colombia
| Tayrona National Park | |
|---|---|
Tayrona National Park is located within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountain in the world, which plunge from 5775 metres through thick, green jungle to the isolated and pristine, palm-fringed beaches on the coastline. The white sand and turquoise waters, in addition to scattered sea-sculptured boulders, make it one of the most beautiful coastal regions in the world. The diverse wildlife found in the park includes black howler and dusky titi monkeys, red squirrels, red woodpeckers, collared peccaries, iguanas, jaguars and a wide variety of lizards and birdlife. | |

The Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is located 500km off Colombia's eastern coast and includes Malepo Island and the surrounding marine environment. This undisturbed environment provides a critical habitat for endangered marine species including short-nosed ragged-toothed sharks, hammerhead sharks, silky sharks, whale sharks, giant grouper and billfish. The dramatic underwater rock formations and the diversity of species make this one of the top diving sites in the world. UNESCO World Heritage Site: Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary | |
