LOCATION
HOW TO GET TO THE YELLOW-EARED PARROT PROAVES RESERVE?
It is located in the Ventanas village, an hour away from the urban center of the municipality of Jardín, Antioquia, on the road that connects this municipality with Riosucio, Caldas.
The birds of greatest conservation importance are the Yellow-eared Parrot (Ognorhynchus icterotis), Crested Cotinga (Ampelion rufaxilla), and the Black-bellied Godwit (Diglossa gloriosissima).
The wildlife is very rich and varied, with mammals such as the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) and deer.
Within the characteristic vegetation of the Reserve, there are populations of Wax Palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense) and a species of Passiflora endemic to the Jardín area (Passiflora jardinensis).
