The Sierra de La Macarena National Natural Park has its origins in the Macarena Biological Reserve, created in 1948. It comprises the largest geological uplift to the west of the Guiana Shield, with an average extension of 130 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, known as the “Sierra de La Macarena”. Within its 629,280 hectares are diverse ecosystems, including rainforests, flooded forests, scrublands and herbaceous vegetation typical of the Amazon savannah.


It is an extraordinary area because of its isolated mountainous conditions, which favors the presence of unique species and a high level of diversity in flora and fauna. In addition, archeological sites along the Duda and Guayabero rivers, where petroglyphs and pictograms of indigenous cultures that inhabited the area are preserved.


Among the area's natural attractions is the Güejar Canyon, a geological wonder formed by crystalline waters that flow through ancient rocky outcroppings of the Guayana Shield. Its rock formations, waterfalls, natural wells and imposing landscapes make Güejar an ideal destination for hiking, rafting and wildlife watching, adding ecotourism value to this region of singular beauty.
