About Nor Yauyos-Cochas
Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve protects a spectacular Andean landscape of turquoise terraced lagoons, dramatic river gorges, snow-capped peaks, and pre-Inca terracing in the provinces of Yauyos and Jauja. The emerald-green Cañete River cascades through a series of photogenic waterfalls and pools at the village of Huancaya, a highlight of the reserve. The area's traditional Andean agriculture, living Inca-era irrigation systems, and high-altitude puna grasslands make it both an ecological and cultural treasure.
