Chorro El Indio

Chorro El Indio National Park is located in the Táchira State of southwestern Venezuela, in the Venezuelan Andes near the border with Colombia. The park is named for a spectacular waterfall, El Chorro del Indio, which is one of the most scenic natural features of the Táchira region. Established to protect the Andean ecosystems of the Venezuelan-Colombian border range, the park encompasses cloud forests, montane grasslands known as páramo, and the upper watersheds of rivers draining into the Orinoco basin. The area is administered by Venezuela's Instituto Nacional de Parques and serves both ecological conservation and recreational functions for the population of the Táchira Andes. The park is part of a broader landscape of Andean conservation areas extending across the Venezuelan-Colombian border.
