Bosquecillo de Auquisamaña

Bosquecillo de Auquisamaña is a nature reserve in La Paz covering several valleys with native plant species and hiking paths throughout. The area includes wooden rest stops positioned along the routes to help visitors pause and observe the surroundings while exploring.

The municipal government established this area as protected in 2002. A national law later reinforced the protection and required detailed mapping of the site.

The reserve draws people interested in observing native birds and documenting wildlife in their natural setting. Visitors and local groups find value in experiencing the vegetation and animal life that define this protected landscape.

Access to the trails is available throughout the year, and the wooden rest stops offer good spots to pause and observe. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain is uneven and watch for wildlife as they explore the grounds.

The reserve is home to Andean foxes and viscachas, animals that inhabit high mountain zones and are rarely spotted. Though these larger mammals are elusive, signs of their activity often appear along the trails and shelters.
