Cañete

Support this Landscape

The Cañete River is one of the most important rivers in the Lima region. In addition to its ecosystem services, it has a rich history and traditions. However, the loss of its glaciers and wetlands, as well as the degradation of its natural spaces due to overgrazing, threaten this beautiful region.
