Chiribiquete National Park – “The Maloca of the Jaguar”
Chiribiquete National Park is the largest protected area in Colombia and is the meeting point of four biogeographic provinces: Orinoco, Guiana, Amazonas and Northern Andes. The National Park therefore guarantees the connectivity and preservation of the biodiversity of these provinces, constituting an interactive scene where the diversity and endemism of flora and fauna flourish. One of the characteristics of Chiribiquete is the presence of tepuis (table-top mountains), steep sandstone plateaus that stand out from the forest, creating a spectacular landscape enhanced by their remoteness, inaccessibility and excellent conservation. Indigenous peoples carved more than 75,000 statues on the walls of 60 rock shelters dating back to 20,000 BC, and they are still being produced today by the original peoples under the protection of the National Park. These murals depict hunting scenes, wars, dances and rituals, as well as species of flora and fauna, and especially the worship of the jaguar, a symbol of strength and fertility. The indigenous communities do not live directly on the site, and they believe that Chiribiquete is a sacred place that cannot be visited and should be left as it is.
Canaima National Park
Canaima National Park is located in southeastern Venezuela, near the borders of Guyana and Brazil, and covers an area of 3 million hectares. About 65% of the park is covered by table mountain (tepui) landforms. The table mountain landforms constitute a unique biogeological entity and are of great geological significance. Steep cliffs and waterfalls, including the world's highest waterfall (1,000 meters), create a spectacular landscape.
Qingchui Peak National Forest Park
Qingchuifeng National Forest Park is commonly known as Bangchui Mountain and was called Shiting in ancient times. It is located in the suburbs of Chengde City, Hebei Province. It has a total area of 10,600 hectares and is about 2.5 kilometers away from the city. It is planned to be divided into four scenic areas, which are integrated with the Summer Resort and the Outer Eight Temples. The terrain of Qingchuifeng National Forest Park belongs to the low mountain and hilly area. In terms of geotectonic structure, it belongs to the transition zone between the Inner Mongolian anticline and the Yanshan subsidence zone. About 70 million years ago, during the global orogenic movement, strata of different eras rose to land with the movement of the earth's crust, forming a geological unit of low mountain Jinling, and various rock shapes were produced through the dissolution of magma and carbon dioxide in water. After long-term weathering and erosion, various strange peaks, strange stones, caves, and cliffs were naturally formed, forming the Chengde Danxia landform landscape.
Bangchui Peak Forest Park
Bangchui Peak Forest Park is commonly known as Bangchui Mountain, and was called Shiting in ancient times. It is located on the top of a mountain on the east bank of Wulie River in the northeast of Hebei City. It stands on a high mountain hill about ten miles east of Bishu Mountain Villa, about 2.5 kilometers away from the city. It is suspended by a cliff below and connected to the blue sky above. The situation is extremely dangerous. The peak is thick at the top and thin at the bottom, shaped like a club. It is 596 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 10.7 meters at the bottom and 15.04 meters at the top. It is 38.29 meters high. Together with the protruding base under the club, it is 60 meters high. There is a mulberry tree halfway up the club, named Mengsang (also known as Yasang), which is 3 meters high and about 30 centimeters in diameter. It has about 300 annual rings and bears white mulberries that are fat and large. For 300 years, Shifeng and Mengsang have been dependent on each other. Mengsang relies on Shifeng for survival, and Shifeng is interesting because of Mengsang.
