Puinawai Natural Reserve

Guainía Department, Colombia · built 1989

Puinawai Natural Reserve (Reserva Nacional Natural Puinawai) is the second-largest national park in Colombia. This protected area occupies 10,925 square kilometres (4, 218 mi2) of the Amazon Region of Colombia, roughly 15% of the Guainía Department. The Reserve was created in September 1989 and coincides with three important indigenous territories that were also formed at the same time. Several rivers cross the Natural Reserve belonging to the Amazon River basin: the Cuyari, Isana and Guainía Rivers. The Inírida River, belonging to the Orinoco River basin, also flows through the reserve. Puinawai lies between altitude of 200 to 380 metres (660 to 1, 250 ft) above sea level and its climate is hot and humid with little seasonal variations throughout the year.
