The Park overlaps the indigenous reserves of Puracé and Paletará, and it has the neighboring indigenous reserves of Coconuco, Guachicono, Poblazón, Quintana, Totoró, Polindara, Guambiano and Yanacona, which is why the area has the rich cultural traditions of indigenous populations.
The scenic beauty of the Park make it an ideal place for this activity, although, if the photos or video are intended for commercial use or publication, a permit must be obtained from Parques Nacionales Naturales.
The exuberant nature of the protected area and its state of conservation make it an ideal place for scientific research. Additionally, as in all the parks with ecotourism, education institutions carry out environmental education activities in the park, as do the park rangers who speak to the visitors about the Park, its conservation objectives and ecotourism services and activities.
It is the perfect place to observe fauna and flora. It has mammals such as the Andean bear, otter, northern pudú, cougar and mountain tapir. It also has more than 200 species of orchids, which is probably one of the most prominent characteristics of the Andean forest within the Park.
