Ampay
National Parks. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The
Ampay National Sanctuary was established on the 23rd of
July in 1987, by means of Supreme Decree # 042-87-AG. It
owes it's name to the snow covered Ampay that guards the
city of Abancay and is also the name of the forests that
cover the neighboring hills.
It is located in the district of Apurimac, province of
Abancay, district of Tamburco. It has a surface area of
36,355 hectares.
As far as its wild fauna, there are mammals like the
Andean fox (Pseudalopex culpaeus), the deer (Odocoileus
virginianus), the vizcacha (Lagidium peruanum), the
guemal (Hippocamelus antisensis) and birds like the
Andean gull (Larus serranus) and the Andean condor (Vultur
gryphus).
The flora is characterized by the intimpa tree (Podocarpus
glomeratus) which grows in smears forming forests upon
the slopes of the mountains. The presence of vegetation
in high altitudes gives rise to scenery of great beauty,
that contrast with perpetual snowfall on the peaks and
with the aridity of the surrounding hills. Thus we can
find beautiful locations sprinkled with gigantic chochos
(Lupinus sp.) with blue flowers and herbs with yellow
flowers known as Calceolaria sp., as well as various
species of orchids.
The sanctuary houses two lagoons, the most spectacular
is the Uspaccocha Lagoon, whixch appears to be a
gigantic crater. The snow covered peaks of Ampay reflect
in its waters. The principal objective of Ampay National
Sanctuary is to protect the Intimpa estate forest which
is home to the wild fauna and the two principal lagoons.
