Is the first to have been established in the seasonally tropical deciduous forest in northern Peru. Is located at 1800 meters elevation in a unique and transitional tropical forest habitat along the banks of the Utcubamba rivers.
Lowland amazon, andean and middle elevation seasonally tropical deciduous are found together at this site.
The reserve building are interwoven with a beautiful and growing botanical garden.
This andes-amazon area is considered a world conservation priority and contains many endemic species of flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world. Valuable hardwoods including tropical cedars and walnuts are found in area forest.
The Utcubamba valley is surrounded by forest covered hills, mountains, canyons rising thousands of feet above the river offering spectacular views and wildlife habitat.
It is also surrounded by numerous Incan and Chachapoyas archaeological remains which volunteers can visit. The archaeological center of Kuelap is very close.Types of help and learning opportunities
