Asháninka Communal Reserve, Indigenous natural reserve in Junín Region, Peru.

The Asháninka Communal Reserve spans 184,468 hectares across the Vilcabamba Mountain range, containing tropical forests, rivers, and diverse wildlife populations.

The Peruvian government established this protected area in 2003 to safeguard natural resources and support the Asháninka people's traditional way of life.

The reserve enables the Asháninka community to maintain their customs through sustainable agriculture, traditional resource management, and knowledge transmission to future generations.

Visitors need to arrange their trips through licensed tour operators and plan their visits between April and October to avoid the heavy rainfall season.

The reserve features 55 waterfalls along the Cutivireni river and contains stone engravings that researchers attribute to Inca civilization.
