Otishi National Park

The Otishi National Park extends across 305,973 hectares of land, featuring mountain ranges, tropical grasslands, and dense forests between 750 and 4,185 meters above sea level.

The Peruvian government established Otishi National Park on January 14, 2003, following decades of conservation efforts that began with the proposed Cutivireni National Park in 1965.

The park borders territories of Asháninka and Machiguenga indigenous communities who maintain traditional practices and assist in protecting the natural resources of the region.

Visitors can explore the park from April to October when temperatures average 25°C and rainfall decreases, making hiking conditions more favorable through the mountainous terrain.

The park serves as a sanctuary for the Andean cock-of-the-rock, Peru's national bird, along with spectacled bears, numerous orchid species, and various endemic plants.
