Yanachaga, Chemillén National Park

Yanachaga–Chemillén National Park is a protected area located in the Pasco Region of central Peru, established in 1986 to preserve the rainforests and cloud forests of the Yanachaga mountain range. The park encompasses approximately 122,000 hectares of rugged mountain terrain, with elevations ranging from 460 to 3,643 meters above sea level. This extraordinary altitudinal span, combined with the region's complex topography of deep canyons and steep forested slopes, creates a remarkable diversity of ecological formations within a relatively compact geographic area. The park is recognized as a Pleistocene refuge, meaning it harbors relict forests that survived the severe climatic fluctuations of the Pleistocene epoch, explaining the exceptional biological diversity found within its boundaries. The Yanachaga–Chemillén area represents one of the most biologically significant protected regions in central Peru, providing crucial habitat for numerous species, including several that are endemic to this particular biogeographic zone.
