Reserva provincial Los Andes, Natural reserve in Salta Province, Argentina.
The Los Andes Provincial Reserve spans 1,444,000 hectares across the Andes mountains, encompassing both Puna and High Andean ecological regions.
The reserve was established in 1980 through Provincial Decree 308 to protect threatened wildlife, particularly focusing on the preservation of vicuña populations.
The protected area includes sections of the ancient Inca Trail, which connected settlements at some of the highest elevations in the pre-Columbian network.
Access to the reserve is through National Route 51, with the towns of San Antonio de los Cobres and Tolar Grande serving as primary entry points.
The Llullaillaco volcano within the reserve gained scientific attention in 1999 when researchers discovered preserved Incan mummies at its summit.
