Botanists have cataloged more than 2,000 plant species in the park while ornithologists count more than 500 species of bird and entomologists know of more than 1,500 kinds of insects that can bite, sting or annoy travelers. The park is famous for a river called Caño Cristales, which exhibits a spectacular array of colors.
