A NATURE ADVENTURE: National Natural Parks in Colombia
By: Laura Samanta Ariza

Colombia is one of the
richest countries in the
world in biological and
cultural diversity. This
diversity is shown in many
areas; those areas are
preserved and have been
classified as national natural
parks and visiting natural
parks is the reason why
Colombia is one of the most
diverse countries in the
world. In Colombia, natural
parks are located
throughout the country and
they offer climates, contexts,
flora and fauna that vary
according to their location
with different environments
such as: mountains, beaches,
rainforest etc.
The Tayrona National Natural
Park is one of the most
important parks in Colombia;
that park is located in the

Caribbean region in the
Magdalena department near
Santa Marta city along the north
coast of Colombia that borders
on the Caribbean Sea and the
park has an area of 150 square
kilometers. In the center of the
park there is a place called
¨Pueblito¨ and the Tayrona
civilization lived there for many
years in Pre-Columbian times.

Park is at the foot of the Sierra
Nevada de Santa Marta and
these beaches are the preferred
and recommended sites by
visitors.
Another natural park that has a
different
environment
is
National Natural El Cocuy Park;
this park is located in eastern
Colombia, in the departments of
Boyacá, Casanare, and Arauca
where the Sierra Nevada del
Cocuy is the main attraction
because it has the largest glacier
in Colombia. In this park you can
find many waterfalls where you
can swim. It is possible to walk to
many of the places that make up
the Sierra such as Plaza and
Grande de la Sierra Lakes,
Púlpitos Del Diablo Rock, and
Pan de Azúcar Glacier. In this
park there are beautiful snow
landscapes.

The best attraction of the park is
the area of Cañaveral in which
there are very beautiful beaches
and many foreigners come to
visit the park to rest and enjoy
different natural activities. The
currents in that sea are
dangerous because they are
strong and when entering to sea
precautions must be taken. In
this natural park you can find
places to do hiking such as Cabo
San Juan, this place offers a
beautiful landscape. The Tayrona
the
park
there
are
Park has one of the best beaches In
in Colombia. Besides, Tayrona communities who come from
the highlands and lowlands
where they can cultivate and
work. There is also an Aboriginal
community called U’wa or
Tunebos, they are inside the park

and are dedicated to the
farming and fishing. They are
protected by the state and the
park is their home. This park has
many environmental problems
because it is affected by the
warming. What I mean to say
with this is Cocuy is in danger
because
the
glacier
is
disappearing and the park is
very important for our country
because is one of the icons of
Colombia
for
its
rich
biodiversity, its water reserve,
species and beautiful landscape,
so we must try to protect it.

Colombia had a large
biodiversity that includes all
climates and infinite cultures
that surprise by their
historical legacy. I invite you
to meet Colombia and visit
the natural parks because
those have different
environments that may be
the most beautiful you've
ever seen.
SOME UNUSUAL PLACES IN COLOMBIA
By: Daniela Aguilar

Colombia is a beautiful
country with wonderful
places. Some of them are
more common or better
known than other. And in
these places that aren´t so
known, we could find a lot
of interesting stuff. Some of
theirs are 3 unusual places:
Chaparral, Caño Cristales
and San Bernardo.
The first one is Caño Cristales.
This place is a river characterized
by the amazing colors that can
produce. When you see the
water in the landscape, you can
see different colors like red,
yellow, green, blue, black and
other colors that you can never
imagine!. These colors sensation
has been generated by fresh
water algae of different colors
that are in to the river. Caño
Cristales is located in the Sierra
de la Macarena in Meta.
The second place is Chaparral. In
this municipality of Tolima, you
can find amazing big caves. It is a
perfect place to practice caving

because there are caves with
many floors, so in some cases
you must craw on the water
because there are places very
strait, and in other cases, it is
necessary to climb big rocks to
can log in in other spaces of the
caves. Also, you can see
stalactites and stalagmites,
which are formations generated
by the precipitation of water and
other substances in the caves,
during many years. And we can´t
forget bats. There are a lot of
these everywhere.
The last one is San Bernardo. This
place is a real mystery because
for a many years, when after the
people have died and time later
the tombs have been opened

some surprising things have
happened. The corpses have
become mummies. And these
aren´t a few corpses, it has been
a lot of corpses. Different
hypothesis have been created to
explain this phenomenon: the
ground or the typical food that
have been eaten for the
community, like poor potato. But
no one until this moment has
explained
clearly
this
phenomenon. And in San
Bernardo you can find a museum
about that and you could attend
the exhumation and you could
be witness about the next
mummy.

Each one of these sites have
different characteristics: one
of them has beautiful
landscape, other is a really
good place to practice
extreme’s sports like caving,
and the last one is a really
unusual place because you
can find mummies. These
places are really interesting
and you can do unusual
activities or know unusual
places and the most
important, you don´t do the
usual tourism.

  • 1. A NATURE ADVENTURE: National Natural Parks in Colombia By: Laura Samanta Ariza Colombia is one of the richest countries in the world in biological and cultural diversity. This diversity is shown in many areas; those areas are preserved and have been classified as national natural parks and visiting natural parks is the reason why Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in the world. In Colombia, natural parks are located throughout the country and they offer climates, contexts, flora and fauna that vary according to their location with different environments such as: mountains, beaches, rainforest etc. The Tayrona National Natural Park is one of the most important parks in Colombia; that park is located in the Caribbean region in the Magdalena department near Santa Marta city along the north coast of Colombia that borders on the Caribbean Sea and the park has an area of 150 square kilometers. In the center of the park there is a place called ¨Pueblito¨ and the Tayrona civilization lived there for many years in Pre-Columbian times. Park is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and these beaches are the preferred and recommended sites by visitors. Another natural park that has a different environment is National Natural El Cocuy Park; this park is located in eastern Colombia, in the departments of Boyacá, Casanare, and Arauca where the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy is the main attraction because it has the largest glacier in Colombia. In this park you can find many waterfalls where you can swim. It is possible to walk to many of the places that make up the Sierra such as Plaza and Grande de la Sierra Lakes, Púlpitos Del Diablo Rock, and Pan de Azúcar Glacier. In this park there are beautiful snow landscapes. The best attraction of the park is the area of Cañaveral in which there are very beautiful beaches and many foreigners come to visit the park to rest and enjoy different natural activities. The currents in that sea are dangerous because they are strong and when entering to sea precautions must be taken. In this natural park you can find places to do hiking such as Cabo San Juan, this place offers a beautiful landscape. The Tayrona the park there are Park has one of the best beaches In in Colombia. Besides, Tayrona communities who come from the highlands and lowlands where they can cultivate and work. There is also an Aboriginal community called U’wa or Tunebos, they are inside the park and are dedicated to the farming and fishing. They are protected by the state and the park is their home. This park has many environmental problems because it is affected by the warming. What I mean to say with this is Cocuy is in danger because the glacier is disappearing and the park is very important for our country because is one of the icons of Colombia for its rich biodiversity, its water reserve, species and beautiful landscape, so we must try to protect it. Colombia had a large biodiversity that includes all climates and infinite cultures that surprise by their historical legacy. I invite you to meet Colombia and visit the natural parks because those have different environments that may be the most beautiful you've ever seen.
  • 2. SOME UNUSUAL PLACES IN COLOMBIA By: Daniela Aguilar Colombia is a beautiful country with wonderful places. Some of them are more common or better known than other. And in these places that aren´t so known, we could find a lot of interesting stuff. Some of theirs are 3 unusual places: Chaparral, Caño Cristales and San Bernardo. The first one is Caño Cristales. This place is a river characterized by the amazing colors that can produce. When you see the water in the landscape, you can see different colors like red, yellow, green, blue, black and other colors that you can never imagine!. These colors sensation has been generated by fresh water algae of different colors that are in to the river. Caño Cristales is located in the Sierra de la Macarena in Meta. The second place is Chaparral. In this municipality of Tolima, you can find amazing big caves. It is a perfect place to practice caving because there are caves with many floors, so in some cases you must craw on the water because there are places very strait, and in other cases, it is necessary to climb big rocks to can log in in other spaces of the caves. Also, you can see stalactites and stalagmites, which are formations generated by the precipitation of water and other substances in the caves, during many years. And we can´t forget bats. There are a lot of these everywhere. The last one is San Bernardo. This place is a real mystery because for a many years, when after the people have died and time later the tombs have been opened some surprising things have happened. The corpses have become mummies. And these aren´t a few corpses, it has been a lot of corpses. Different hypothesis have been created to explain this phenomenon: the ground or the typical food that have been eaten for the community, like poor potato. But no one until this moment has explained clearly this phenomenon. And in San Bernardo you can find a museum about that and you could attend the exhumation and you could be witness about the next mummy. Each one of these sites have different characteristics: one of them has beautiful landscape, other is a really good place to practice extreme’s sports like caving, and the last one is a really unusual place because you can find mummies. These places are really interesting and you can do unusual activities or know unusual places and the most important, you don´t do the usual tourism.
