    Acanthamoeba spp. and Cryptococcus spp. they are opportunistic pathogens, ubiquitous in nature. Many species of Acanthamoeba spp. they are responsible for fatal diseases for humans such as: meningoencephalitis and keratitis, so the study of their endosymbiotic interaction is representative. The purpose of the study was to establish the endosymbiosis between Acanthamoeba spp. and Cryptococcus spp. in environmental samples from the city of Cúcuta, Norte de Santander. A descriptive study was carried out, collecting a total of 132 samples, 120 of soils from four parks in the city of Cúcuta, Norte de Santander: Colón Park, Santander Park, San Eduardo Park, Erasmo Meoz University Hospital Park and 12 water samples taken from the Pamplonita River and the Bogotá Wastewater Canal. The culture was carried out on non-nutritive agar plates previously seeded with inactive Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Acanthamoeba spp. it was isolated from 83 (70%) of the soil samples and 12 (100%) of the water samples. Also, the identification of Cryptococcus spp. as an endosymbiont, it was present in 7 (5.8%) of the strains samples of Acanthamoeba spp.
