El Angolo Game Reserve, Protected game reserve in Tumbes Province, Peru.
El Angolo is a protected reserve in northern Peru that features seasonally dry tropical forests across different elevations. The landscape supports diverse wildlife adapted to these forest conditions.
The reserve was founded in 1975 to protect the dry forest areas of northern Peru. This action helped establish the region as part of an international biosphere network.
The reserve holds meaning for local hunting communities who practice sustainable traditions passed down through generations. You can see how these groups coexist with the landscape they depend on.
Access to the reserve requires permits depending on your planned activities. Wildlife observation can happen year-round, though some activities are seasonal.
The area shelters more than a hundred bird species, including rare ones found only in this forest region. Large predators and deer populations also thrive here, making it a critical ecosystem for top carnivores.
