About Machiguenga
Machiguenga Communal Reserve (also known as Matsigenka) protects the middle eastern flank of the Vilcabamba mountain range in La Convención Province, Cusco, managed by the Matsigenka indigenous people. The reserve serves as a buffer zone between Otishi and Manu National Parks, protecting vital cloud forest habitats while providing forest resources for Matsigenka communities. Its forests shelter spectacled bears, mountain tapirs, and endemic cloud-forest birds of the Peruvian Yungas.
