Andinobates altobueyensis (synonyms ) is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is endemic to Alto del Buey mountain in the Serranía del Baudó range, in the Chocó Department of western Colombia. Its common names include Alto de Buey poison frog, golden poison-arrow frog, and golden poison frog.[2][3] Its natural habitat is humid pre-montane forest. It lives on the ground and in bromeliads.[1]
This frog has a very restricted range, and there is risk of habitat loss caused by smallholder agricultural activities, logging, and human settlement.[1]
