Apolobamba Integrated Management Natural Area

The Apolobamba Natural Area spans 4,837 square kilometers across three provinces, featuring mountain peaks, valleys, grasslands, and wetland ecosystems at different altitudes.

Established as a protected zone in 1972, the area expanded its boundaries in 2000 to strengthen conservation measures and protect additional wildlife habitats.

Indigenous Aymara communities within the area maintain traditional agricultural methods and resource management practices that support environmental preservation across generations.

Visitors can access guided tours through established paths that showcase the natural landscapes while local rangers monitor and protect the diverse wildlife populations.

The area contains specialized high-altitude ecosystems where endangered mountain species thrive alongside traditional livestock managed by local communities.
