The Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is located 500km off Colombia's eastern coast and includes Malepo Island and the surrounding marine environment. This undisturbed environment provides a critical habitat for endangered marine species including short-nosed ragged-toothed sharks, hammerhead sharks, silky sharks, whale sharks, giant grouper and billfish. The dramatic underwater rock formations and the diversity of species make this one of the top diving sites in the world.
