Create a new eco-park
In this module, you will learn about eco-tourism, landscapes, indigenous people, 
and environmental problems in Colombia. In the project, you will plan an eco-
park. You will:
▪
decide where your park is and what landscapes it has
▪
decide what facilities for visitors it has
▪
think about what indigenous people and fauna and flora live within the park
▪
create a map with information and present it to the class
To start the project, think about national parks that you know in Colombia. What 
landscapes do they have? What facilities do they have? Could they be improved, 
in your opinion? How?
