Reserve Lomas de Lachay

Lomas de Lachay is a nature reserve located in the coastal desert of Peru. It is known for its unique ecosystem, where a misty marine layer creates a microclimate that supports the growth of vegetation in an otherwise arid landscape. The reserve is home to various plant and animal species, including cacti, hummingbirds, foxes, and the endemic Peruvian thick-knee bird. Visitors can explore the reserve through hiking trails and observe the diverse wildlife and plant adaptations to the desert environment. Lomas de Lachay offers a tranquil escape and an opportunity to appreciate the resilience of life in a harsh desert setting.
