About Vilacota-Maure
Vilacota-Maure Regional Conservation Area protects 124,313 hectares of high-altitude puna grasslands, bofedales (Andean wetlands), and volcanic landscapes in the provinces of Tacna, Tarata, and Candarave, the southernmost protected area in Peru. The reserve protects populations of vicuñas, pumas, and Andean flamingos in pristine altiplano landscapes at elevations above 4,000 meters, alongside rare Andean flora adapted to extreme cold and aridity. Its volcanic peaks, hot springs, and stark but beautiful high-plateau scenery offer an authentic off-the-beaten-path experience in a little-visited corner of the Peruvian Andes.
