The Tabacones Namballe Sanctuary was established on May 20, 1988
through Law (D.S.) N 051-88-AG.
It is located in the department of Cajamarca, province of
San Ignacio, districts of Tabacones and Namballe. The highlands
are cover of mist, that why they are called the misty forests.
There
we can find romerillo macho and hembra (male and female
romerillo), bamboo and some bracken plants. Until now 33
species of birds and 17 species of mammals among this species
are some animals in danger de extinction such as: the spectacled
bear (Tremarctos ornatus), the tapir (Tapirus pinchaque).
There are waterfalls, lagoons, and many other tourist attractions.
The main goals of this Sanctuary are: the protection of
the misty forests and the fauna and flora of the area.
