Zona reservada Ancón, Protected area in Lima Department, Peru
The Ancon Protected Area spans 10,452 hectares, combining marine zones of Ancon Bay with desert areas and coastal hills nourished by winter mists.
The area received formal protection status in 2013 through Ministerial Resolution 140-2013-MINAM to safeguard its ecosystems and biological diversity.
The protected zone includes the Antonio Raimondi National Ecological Park, which covers 8,259 hectares, representing 79 percent of the total protected territory.
The mild waves in Ancon Bay create stable conditions that support higher species diversity compared to areas exposed to stronger ocean currents.
The coastal hills of Ancon display notable species diversity, with 43 percent of plant species found exclusively in this ecosystem.
