About Pampa Galeras-Barbara D'Achille
Pampa Galeras-Bárbara D'Achille National Reserve is a high-altitude puna reserve in Ayacucho, established primarily to protect the endangered vicuña and enable its recovery. From fewer than 6,000 animals worldwide in 1968, the reserve's conservation program helped vicuña populations rebound to over 300,000 globally. The annual traditional chaccu shearing festival, where local communities round up and shear vicuñas before releasing them, continues to this day.
