Chiribiquete is a stunning neotropical landscape whose ecological integrity and connectivity are hard to match in terms of continuous forest cover area, biodiversity richness, and ecosystem services provision at local, regional, and global scales. 

In addition to its natural value, the Chiribiquete landscape is home to some of the last groups of Indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation in the world. Major legal measures have been taken to protect them including the designation of two intangible zones where all activities are forbidden, except surveillance and monitoring with non-invasive methods. In recognition of its “outstanding universal value” both for nature and people, it was declared a mixed natural and cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site.
