Where is the Bosque de Pomac Historic Sanctuary located?

Bosque de Pómac Historic Sanctuary is located in the province of Ferreñafe and is one of Peru’s most visited protected natural areas and national destinations, both by national and international tourists, because it is home to the largest carob forest in the country and the world.

Its good state of conservation has helped generate sustainable development opportunities for the benefit of its citizens through activities such as ecotourism and the production of products derived from the forest, benefiting 150 local residents.

In the Pomac Historic Sanctuary, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of activities such as flora and fauna observation, trekking, biking, camping, horseback riding, handicrafts, and forest products, among others.
