Santiago-Comaina Reserved Zone, Protected natural reserve in Condorcanqui Province, Peru

The Santiago-Comaina Reserved Zone spans across 1,642,570 hectares of Amazonian rainforest between the Morona, Santiago, and Cenepa river basins in northern Peru.

The Peruvian government established the Santiago-Comaina Reserved Zone in 1999 through Law Decree 005-99-AG to safeguard the biodiversity of the Condor Mountains region.

Indigenous Jibaro communities maintain their traditional practices within the reserve, living along the Santiago, Marañon Nieva, and Cenepa rivers.

Visitors require guidance from SERNANP authorized personnel to access the reserve, which contains numerous hiking trails through dense tropical vegetation.

Scientists have documented 474 butterfly species in the reserve, including 21 potentially new species, along with 40 orchid varieties in the Condor Mountains.
