The
National Sanctuary of Huayllay was established August 7,
1974, by means of Supreme Law # 0750-74-AG. It is
located in the heart of Meseta de Bombón, with a
background scenery of the Huayhuash Cordillera in the
Pasco region and Pasco province. It extends for 6,815
hectares.
One of the Sanctuary's attractions is the Huayllay Rock
Garden, a rocky region with numerous attractively
sculptured formations, which has been formed by erosive
processes of the wind, water, and the shifting of
glaciers. It is like an immense petrified oasis in the
middle of a cold and desolate plateau. Here, the
inexhaustible nature has sculpted figures of men,
animals and many other capricious forms, which allows
you to pass slowly by the formation of such dimensions
as a man on his horse.
It is one of the best geological museums in the world.
It is known for it's great expansion and unique
formations like the Garden of the Gods in the U.S.A. and
the Shilin Rock Garden in the Popular Republic of China.
In the middle of the rock forest exists a beautiful
thermal water fountain with curative properties. The
temperature reaches more than 60º C and is located 4,000
meters above sea level.
Between the rock formations exist areas of grass made up
of plants from the family of the Poaceae and others like
the Cyperaceae. The only tree specie existing within the
borders of the sanctuary is the quenual (Polylesis sp.).
Among the semiligneous species we have the huamanpinta (Chuquiraga
spinosa), la putaga (Rumex peruvianus) and the mata mata
or pargash (Tafalla thujoides).
The wild fauna is represented by mammals such as the
deer (Odocoileus virginianus), the vicuña (Vicugna
vicugna), the vizcacha (Lagidium peruanum), the Pampas
Cat (Oncifelis colocolo) and the skunks (Conepatus
chinga). Among the birds we can mention the sparrowhawk
(Buteo sp.) and the partridge (Nothoprocta ornata y
Tinamotis pentlandii).
The primary objective of the Sanctuary is to protect the
geological formations of theHuayllay Rock Garden, as
well as the native flora and fauna.
