About Huayllay
Huayllay National Sanctuary in the Meseta de Bombón, Pasco, protects a remarkable high-altitude rock forest — a landscape of wind-eroded limestone formations rising from 4,000 to 4,600 meters above sea level. These dramatic rock towers and arches, resembling giant stone figures, are a UNESCO tentative World Heritage site and a unique geologic feature of the Peruvian Andes. The sanctuary also preserves native puna grassland flora and fauna including vicuñas and Andean birds.
