Zona reservada Lomas de Ancón, Protected natural area in Lima Department, Peru.
The Lomas de Ancón Reserve covers 10,962 hectares across Huaral, Lima, and Canta provinces, featuring desert landscapes and coastal hills with seasonal vegetation.
The Peruvian government established Lomas de Ancón as a protected reserve in October 2010 to safeguard essential desert ecosystems and biological diversity.
Local communities participate in conservation programs while researchers study the adaptations of native species to extreme temperature variations between seasons.
Visitors can access the reserve through Panamericana Norte highway, with optimal viewing conditions during July to September when coastal fog creates green vegetation.
The reserve contains endemic plant species that capture moisture from winter fog, transforming the desert into temporary green spaces during specific months.
