Chaparrí

Chaparri, the first privately owned nature reserve in Peru, is part of the town of Santa Catalina de Chongoyape, which has turned much of its land into a nature reserve. The ecoregion is typical of the equatorial dry forest, with carob trees, cacti and scrub. Red deer and foxes can be found here, as well as endangered species such as the spectacled bear, the white-winged guan (Penelope albipennis) and the Andean condor. The rescue center for spectacled bears is unique. Animal and plant life can be observed on several circular routes: Turkey Trail, Bear Trail and Huachuma Trail or Cactus Trail.
