Regional Conservation Area of System of Hills of Lima

The Regional Conservation Area System of Hills spans 13,475 hectares across five distinct zones, protecting diverse flora and fauna within Lima's desert landscape.

The Ministry of Environment of Peru established this protected area on December 7, 2019, following years of advocacy by environmental organizations and local communities.

Local women from surrounding communities develop and manage the Amancaes Hills Ecotourism Circuit, promoting environmental education and sustainable tourism practices.

Visitors can access the conservation area through multiple entry points throughout Lima Department, with winter months offering the best conditions for observing vegetation.

These hills function as fog oases within the Sechura Desert, capturing moisture from coastal mists to sustain specialized plant communities in an otherwise arid environment.
