2 DAYS 1 NIGHT IN RIO ABISEO NATIONAL PARK

🌳 TOUR TO THE ABISEO RIVER NATIONAL PARK

The Río Abiseo National Park (PNRA) is located on the Amazonian slope of the Eastern Andes mountain range, west of the town of Huicungo, in the department of San Martín. It covers an area of ​​274,520 hectares. Its main objective is to protect a representative sample of the cloud forests of the jungle brow and high jungle, which includes various areas of endemism.

🌿 Its presence also seeks to preserve flora and fauna species and associations in their natural state, particularly those that are vulnerable or in danger of extinction. Likewise, the PNRA seeks to maintain the ecological balance of the cloud forests, in order to ensure the hydrological stability of the Abiseo, Túmac and Montecristo river basins.

🔬 This place is an excellent platform to support and encourage research into our natural and cultural resources. Cultural resources and scenic beauties are preserved inside, where the archaeological complex of Gran Pajatén and Los Pinchudos stands out.
