Welcome to La Pedregoza Natural Reserve!
This natural reserve is located 55 KM from the port city of Puerto Carreño
in the Colombian departamento of Vichada in South America. It is situated along
the banks of the Rio el Bita and not far from the mighty Orinoco river. La Pedregoza
Natural Reserve is established for the conservation of native tropical tree species
and the preservation of endangered wildlife in the Orinoco basin. Located strategically
along a major river, it provides refuge for animals moving between El Tuparro National
Park and the natural reserves of
Nimajay and
Bojonawi. Reserva Natural La Pedregoza is composed at present of two
significant riparian forests and two unique morichals, or densely forested drainage
areas, with a planned future expansion.
