Nazca
Arriving at a site museum visit, where we will observe the wildlife itself to place it there, then walk to meet and learn more about the unique flora and fauna of the park. The vicuña national park is located 90 km away. from Nazca, following a zigzag/steep road that leads us to the Peruvian Andes. This area is home to the four species of South American camels (vicuña, alpaca, llama and guanaco), which can be seen grazing freely across the high plateau.
The characteristic vegetation of the reserve is grassland (ichu). In the stony valleys it is possible to find relict forests of quinoa and quishuar and stands of the candelabra cactus.
The most representative and abundant species of this reserve is the vicuña, whose protection and conservation motivated the creation of this unit. Another important species is the guanaco, which, like the vicuña, is one of the South American camelids found in the wild.
