«The Huascarán Biosphere Reserve encloses a diversity of geomorphologic features and is also a World Heritage Site and a National Park. It is situated in the Cordillera Blanca, the highest tropical mountain range in the world, with 27 snow-capped peaks 6,000 meters above sea level, of which El Huascaran (6,768 meters) is the highest peak. It supports an equally wide range of vegetation types, humid montane forest in the valleys, with alpine fluvial tundra, and very wet sub-alpine paramo formations at higher levels. Some 120 species of plants have been identified.»
