Quick facts Location, Coordinates ...

The name "Huimeki" is derived from the first syllables of the Huitoto, Mestizo, and Kichwa communities who inhabit the area. The reserve is part of a larger ecological corridor in the Putumayo River basin, connected to adjacent protected areas in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, including the Güeppí-Sekime National Park, Airo Pai Communal Reserve, Colombia’s La Paya National Park, and Ecuador’s Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve.[2]

The reserve contains diverse habitats shaped by Quaternary geological formations and is recognized for its biological importance. It supports species restricted to the far northeastern Amazon of Peru that are not found in other parts of the country. Huimeki also functions as a stopover site for migratory birds traveling from southern South America to the Northern Hemisphere.[2]
