Pagaibamba Protection Forest, Protected forest in Querocoto, Peru
Pagaibamba Protection Forest spans 2,078 hectares across steep slopes and ravines between 2,400 and 3,732 meters above sea level in Cajamarca Department.
The forest received its protected status through Supreme Resolution No. 0222-87-AG/DGFF on June 19, 1987, establishing conservation measures for its natural resources.
The forest territory connects to Pacopampa archaeological site, which predates Chavin culture by 3,000 years and contains numerous undiscovered ancient locations.
The forest maintains water supplies for Querocoto, Llama, and Huambos districts while protecting agricultural lands and road infrastructure from environmental degradation.
The area hosts Andean bears, grey deer, mountain parrots, and tree species like yellow oak and Podocarpus within its very humid montane tropical forest.
