Chancaybaños Reserved Zone, Natural reserve in Cajamarca Region, Peru.
Chancaybaños Reserved Zone is a protected nature area in Cajamarca Region with landscapes ranging from cloud forests to high mountain meadows. The terrain spans multiple elevations where different plants and animals live according to their altitude.
The area was officially declared a protected zone in 1996 to safeguard the region's ecosystems. This designation marked an important step in preserving the natural diversity for future generations.
Local communities gather plants and water from the area following practices passed down through generations. These activities shape how people live and interact with the land they depend on.
To visit the area, you need to obtain a permit from the local authority beforehand. The main access routes are found in Santa Cruz Province.
The reserve spans several elevation zones where different animal and plant species exist in combinations found nowhere else in Peru. Each height level creates its own conditions that attract rare life forms.
