Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge, Protected nature reserve in Lambayeque department, Peru.

Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge is a protected area where tropical dry forest covers the landscape where mountains meet coastal plains. The terrain encompasses multiple ecosystems that support a wide range of plant and animal species.

Laquipampa was first protected as a reserved zone by Ministerial Resolution No. 00692-82-AG/DGFF on 5 October 1982, covering 11,346.90 hectares. Twenty-four years later, Supreme Decree No. 045-2006-AG of 7 July 2006 made it Peru's first wildlife refuge, with a reduced area of 8,328.64 hectares, to conserve dry forest habitat of the white-winged guan and the spectacled bear.

The name Laquipampa comes from the Quechua words llaki (sorrow) and pampa (plain). Within the refuge lie two archaeological sites: Huaca El Zapote, in the village of Puchaca, where human remains, huacos and chaquiras beads have been found, and Cueva Pozo, in the San Antonio de Laquipampa farming community, with human remains, pottery and other utensils.

Visitors can explore marked trails during posted hours, and morning is the best time for bird watching when species are most active. Booking a guided tour helps locate wildlife and navigate the terrain effectively.

The white-winged guan was considered extinct until 1977, when conservationist Gustavo del Solar observed it again in Lambayeque. Around 22 individuals are now recorded in the refuge, which protects the last wild population of this Peruvian endemic.
