Parque Nacional Ucumarí - Other Activity Pereira - Colombia

Parque Nacional Ucumarí is one of Colombia’s best locations to spot birds, animals and plant life. The variations in altitude in this area are what make Ucumarí so biologically diverse. Because the park covers some 16 kilometers (10 mi) in diameter, the best, and practically only way, to experience it is to hire a guide who can take you to the park via chiva bus. With a guide, you can visit waterfalls, hike in the forest, and see unique birds as well as Andean spectacled bears (if you’re lucky), which dwell in this region.

Dormitories and camping sites are available in the park, about 30 minutes from the entrance by foot. There are accommodations and tourist services to Ucumarí in nearby Parque Nacional Natural Los Nevados as well. If you are serious about visiting Ucumarí, plan on spending at least a full day in the park with a guide and be sure to account for the time needed to travel to and from Pereira.
