Biosphere Reserves in Venezuela

The Alto Orinoco-Casiquiare Biosphere Reserve is an expansive protected area located in the Venezuelan Amazon, encompassing three national parks—Duida-Marahuaca National Park, Serranía de la Neblina National Park, and Parima Tapirapecó National Park—each contributing to the ecological and cultural importance of the region. The reserve is characterized by its rich biodiversity, dramatic landscapes, and the presence of Indigenous communities, particularly the Yanomami and Ye'kwana peoples.

Nestled in the northeastern corner of Venezuela, the Delta del Orinoco Biosphere Reserve and its associated national parks form a vast and diverse ecosystem of immense ecological and cultural significance. Designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009, this region represents a unique confluence of terrestrial, aquatic, and marine environments, harboring an extraordinary array of flora and fauna.
