About Vista Alegre-Omia
Vista Alegre-Omia Regional Conservation Area protects 48,945 hectares of cloud forests in the districts of Vista Alegre and Omia in Rodríguez de Mendoza Province, Amazonas, one of the most biodiverse and least-explored cloud forest zones in Peru. The reserve conserves the watershed of the Huambo and Omia rivers, providing fresh water for downstream communities while sheltering spectacled bears, Andean tapirs, and exceptional populations of endemic orchids and birds of the Peruvian Yungas. Established in 2018, it was the first ACR in the Rodríguez de Mendoza region.
