Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge

The Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge spans 113 square kilometers of tropical dry forests at the intersection of mountain and coastal ecosystems in northern Peru.

The Peruvian government established this wildlife sanctuary in 1982 to protect native species and maintain ecological balance in the Lambayeque region.

Local communities participate in conservation programs within the refuge, sharing traditional knowledge about plant uses and wildlife behavior with researchers.

Visitors can access guided tours through marked trails from 8 AM to 4 PM, with specialized bird watching sessions scheduled during morning hours.

The refuge serves as a critical habitat for the white-winged guan, a rare bird species found only in northern Peru's dry forests.
