About Puquio Santa Rosa
Puquio Santa Rosa Protection Forest in the district of Chao, Virú Province, La Libertad, protects a small but ecologically significant riparian oasis in the coastal desert. Fed by underground springs, the forest supports a pocket of vegetation including herbaceous, shrub, and tree species that contrast sharply with the surrounding arid landscape. At just 72.5 hectares, it is one of the smallest protected areas in Peru but plays a critical role in maintaining local water sources and biodiversity.
