Sierra del Divisor National Park, National park in eastern Peru.
Sierra del Divisor National Park is a large protected area in eastern Peru that combines rivers, steep terrain, and dense rainforest. The landscape shifts between flat forest areas and higher sections where vegetation and wildlife vary noticeably.
The park was established in 2015 to protect this Amazonian forest and its ecological value. The decision to create it came from recognizing the region's scientific and natural importance.
Indigenous peoples have lived within this protected area for generations, maintaining their own settlements and knowledge systems about the forest. Their presence shapes how the land is used and understood today.
To visit this remote area, travelers need permits and should work with specialized local guides familiar with the forest. Advance planning is essential since accommodation and supplies are limited.
El Cono is a pyramid-shaped mountain rising from the flat Amazonian landscape and one of the few higher elevations in the lower Amazon region. This unusual landform makes the terrain geologically distinctive and offers a rare perspective on what is otherwise flat forest floor.
