Amotape Hills National Park, Protected natural area in northern Piura and Tumbes regions, Peru.
The Cerros de Amotape National Park stretches across 151,561 hectares of land, encompassing dry forests, tropical forests, and the Tumbes River ecosystem.
The Peruvian government established this conservation area in 1975 to protect the rare combination of dry forests and Pacific tropical forests.
Local communities in Rica Playa maintain traditional practices of natural resource management while supporting visitors through guided tours and accommodation.
Visitors must obtain permits from the Sernanp office in Tumbes and arrange for local guides to explore the park's extensive network of trails.
The park contains the only navigable river on Peru's coast and houses multiple species including jaguars, condors, and American crocodiles within its borders.
