The Lomas de Lachay National Reserve is located 105 Km north of Lima. It covers an area of 52070 hectares. This Lomas are a result of a combination of climatologic factors typical from the coast, regulated by a particular geography. They happen at the point of contact between the mist coming from the ocean and the first slopes of the western Andes. In Lachay you can find 2 seasons very marked, the more remarkable wet season that goes from June to November, and the dry season from December to May. In the Lomas of Lachay has been registered 74 species of plants, 25 of them in danger. Apart from the biodiversity of the reserve we find there, cave paintings ( pre-history paintings drew by Peruvian ancient people ) and an archeological site of pre-Inca cultures.
