The Los Estoraques Unique Natural Area (UNA) takes its name from a plant species called "estoraque" (Styrax guianensis) that no longer exists in the area due to its indiscriminate use for medicine and soap making.

For thousands of years, wind and water have formed hundreds of geological forms.

It is one of the smallest protected areas in Colombia, covering only 6.4 km² of surface area.

Considered unique in its kind for its beautiful, fragile and eroded landscapes, the area is located at an altitude ranging from 1,450 to 2,100 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andean region.

Archaeological remains such as urns, mummies, caves with bones and petroglyphs have been found near the park, however they have not been able to be attributed to any particular culture.
