THE ENIGMATIC INDIGENOUS RESERVE OF SIERRA DEL DIVISOR

 

 

This spectacular place was declared a NATIONAL PARK on November 9, 2015 in order to preserve its projection and above all to protect the rights, territory and conditions that ensure the existence and security of indigenous peoples in isolation and initial contact, since this natural reserve shelters the last peoples in voluntary isolation of humanity.

 

  

 

 

This reserve protects the Isconahua, Mayoruna, Matses, and Kapanawa indigenous peoples. Located between the Ucayali and Loreto regions, it covers 1,354,485 hectares, making it one of the largest national parks in the world. Its highest point reaches 600 meters above sea level, featuring a beautiful pyramid-shaped mountain deep within the remote Amazon rainforest, straddling the borders of Peru and Brazil.

 

  

 

  

 

The Sierra del Divisor National Park is home to the largest number of primates in Peru (16 species), making it one of the world's largest concentrations of primates living in a single location. The Red-faced Uakari monkey is a prominent example, and the park also boasts countless reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, and more—an immeasurable biodiversity still unknown to science and found only in this incredible ecosystem. This is all in addition to the native communities that have inhabited this region in complete isolation for thousands of years.
