Huacrupe-La Calera Forest Regional Conservation Area

Huacrupe-La Calera Forest is a protected reserve in the Olmos region featuring dry forests and mountain peaks in northern Peru. The area encompasses multiple elevation zones that create different habitats across its terrain.

Regional authorities established this protected area in 2011 to safeguard local biodiversity and natural ecosystems. This designation marked a commitment to long-term conservation of the region's ecological resources.

Local communities near the forest maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource management while participating in conservation decision-making processes.

Marked trails connect various peaks throughout the reserve and offer different levels of difficulty for walkers. Visiting during the dry season makes access easier and more comfortable for exploring the terrain.

The reserve supports specialized plant species adapted to dry conditions and hosts rare bird species during their seasonal movements. These adaptations make the wildlife and vegetation particularly noteworthy for nature observers.
