Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha, Biosphere reserve in central Peru.
The reserve spans 1.8 million hectares across multiple ecological zones, from Amazon lowlands to montane cloud forests at elevations reaching 4,500 meters.
The area received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2010, with Yanachaga-Chemillen National Park established in 1986 as its central protected zone.
Three indigenous groups - Yanesha, Ashaninka, and Asheninka peoples - maintain their traditional practices while coexisting with European descendants in the region.
Visitors can explore numerous hiking trails throughout the reserve, with accommodations available in surrounding towns and local guides offering educational tours.
The reserve contains 5,000 plant species, including 600 orchid varieties, and provides habitat for jaguars, pumas, spectacled bears, and harpy eagles.
