This table is filtered and reformatted by Gallivanting Gadabout from the data of Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia (© 2025). Like the original, this table is available under CC BY-SA 4.0.1
Each name is the category Parque Nacional Natural followed by the park's name as RUNAP writes it. The territorial office is the agency's own administrative area, not a department.
Why are there no years?
The data names the resolution currently in force for each park, which is often a later boundary act rather than the act that created the park, so we do not print it as a founding year.
Can this list be reused?
Both layers we used are under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0); the boundary record reads Limites Precisados - Poligono © 2025 por Parques Nacionales Naturales.1 Share-alike means that what we adapt from the data must be shared under the same licence, which is why the table above is marked CC BY-SA 4.0. We use no text from the agency's website.
What this page cannot tell you
- No dates here. See above.
- Other categories are not here. Sanctuaries, reserves and other categories in the same data are left out.

Key takeaways
- The agency lists 44 national natural parks.
- The table is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0, like the data.
- We give no years because the data names only the resolution in force.
- What we would skip: reading the list as a ranking or a travel guide. It records an official designation; it says nothing about opening, access or conditions, so check each park's own information before you go.
