Parque Nacional Natural Los Katíos Camping El Limón
El Limón camping sits along the Atrato River deep in Los Katíos National Park, offering basic facilities in pristine rainforest. Concrete platforms for tents, vault toilets, and a covered cooking area serve as base camp for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site. The park protects critical habitat where North and South American wildlife meet — expect howler monkeys, jaguars, and over 400 bird species. Capacity around 20 people across 8 designated tent sites.
Access requires a combination of paved road to Turbo, then boat transport up the Atrato River — no direct vehicle access to the campground itself. Park entry permits required and must be arranged in advance through the national parks system. Wet season (April-November) brings heavy rains and high water levels that can complicate boat transport.
