PERU ADVENTURE

Laquipampa is a State Protected Area (ex–Laquipampa reserved zone) and is the first of its kind in Perú. It holds one of the finest samples of Tumbesian Endemics and Andean Avifauna. Here you can find in the wild one the most emblematic birds of north Peru: The White-winged Guan.
Laquipampa Reserved Zone is located in the district Incahuasi, Ferreñafe province, department of Lambayeque. Habitats are most important Laquipampa dry forest, desert scrub and coastal bush. The relief is varied, with the presence of streams, hills and flat areas. The area is irrigated by three rivers, the river and the river Sangano Moyano, which irrigate the upland village of Laquipampa and the Milk River to the Lowlands hamlet Puchaca. The production system is predominantly agricultural. Few studies have been conducted in Laquipampa (Flanagan and Angulo 2001).
