About San Fernando
San Fernando National Reserve protects a unique convergence of Andean, desert, and marine ecosystems along the Ica coast south of Nazca, where the Andean foothills meet the Pacific Ocean. The reserve harbors impressive colonies of South American sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and condors, with the latter descending from the Andes to feed on marine carrion along the beaches. It protects one of the most biologically significant coastal desert landscapes in South America.
