Sunchubamba Game Reserve, Game reserve in Gran Chimú Province, Peru.
Sunchubamba Game Reserve is a protected area in the Peruvian Andes located in Gran Chimú Province, featuring mountain terrain with native vegetation and varied elevation zones. The landscape includes forests, grasslands, and rocky slopes that change as you move through different altitudes.
The reserve was established in 1977 to protect land that previously belonged to a large agricultural estate in the region. Its creation reflected broader changes in land ownership and resource management across Peru at that time.
Local hunters initially resisted the introduction of red deer in 1945, as the species was unknown to the region's traditional hunting practices.
Access to the area requires authorization from the national protected areas authority before entry. Visitors should check conditions and permitted activities in advance since regulations control how the reserve can be used.
Scientists conducted cloud seeding experiments during the 1950s and 1960s within the reserve to address drought conditions. These early attempts sought to increase rainfall and improve water availability in the mountainous region.
