Lomas de Lachay, National reserve in Huacho, Peru.
The protected area spans 5,070 hectares of land between 50 and 700 meters above sea level, featuring hills and dense vegetation near the Pacific coast.
The Peruvian government established Lachay National Reserve on June 21, 1977, to preserve the coastal mountain ecosystem and protect endangered species.
The reserve contains archaeological remains from pre-Hispanic cultures who adapted their agricultural practices to the seasonal fog patterns of the region.
The reserve entrance lies 105 kilometers north of Lima along the Panamericana Norte highway, with visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.
The seasonal fog known as camanchaca creates moisture that sustains the growth of specialized plant species during dry months in this coastal desert.
