Sierra del Divisor Reserved Zone

Sierra del Divisor Reserved Zone is a protected area in Peru featuring mountain ranges that rise above the surrounding Amazon plain. The territory includes various ecosystems shaped by its elevation changes and diverse vegetation types.

The area gained protection status in 2006 and was designated as a national park in 2015. This legal change strengthened conservation efforts for the region's biodiversity.

The Shipibo, Conibo, and Isconahua peoples maintain their traditional ways within this territory. Their presence shapes how the forest is understood and used by those who live there.

The region has a warm climate with heavy rainfall throughout the year. Visitors should prepare for humid conditions and potentially difficult access routes.

The area contains extinct volcanoes with granite cliffs and specialized dwarf forests on limestone formations. Many plant species growing in this forest remain undocumented by science.
