Rio Claro Nature Reserve

Antioquia Department, Colombia

Río Claro Nature Reserve in Antioquia Department, Colombia, is a private 650-hectare ecological sanctuary along the crystal-clear Río Claro, formed by a marble canyon carved over millions of years from ancient Devonian limestone deposits on the eastern slopes of the Central Andes, about 152 km southeast of Medellín near the Medellín-Bogotá highway.

Nestled in the Magdalena Medio region amid tropical rainforests at around 350 meters elevation, it protects diverse biodiversity including monkeys, otters, toucans, iguanas, sloths, blue morpho butterflies, and endemic species in karst caves like Cueva de los Guácharos filled with oilbirds and stalactites.

Popular for rafting, tubing, hiking, caving, birdwatching, and eco-lodges blending into the jungle, it offers an immersive escape with no Wi-Fi, emphasizing conservation since its 1970 founding.
