Chiribiquete Emerald Expedition

The tour begins from: Bogotá or Villavicencio.

Location: Araracuara (Caqueta).

Chiribiquete National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Colombia, is vital for its extraordinary biodiversity and ecological significance. Spanning over 43,000 square kilometers, it harbors a rich variety of flora and fauna, including more than 1,000 plant species and numerous endemic animals. The park’s unique tepuis—flat-topped mountains—create distinct habitats that support a wide range of ecosystems.

Among its many inhabitants is the Chibiriquete emerald hummingbird, a stunning bird found exclusively within this park. With its iridescent plumage and rapid wing beats, this hummingbird exemplifies the area’s ecological uniqueness. The Chibiriquete emerald is not just a symbol of beauty but also an important pollinator, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of the park’s diverse plant life.


Chiribiquete National Park is essential for conservation, protecting critical habitats and promoting biodiversity, making it a treasure for scientists, nature enthusiasts, and future generations.
