Lomas of Lachay

Peru
I've been back in
Peru
almost a week now, staying with Amparo, Ronald and their son Esteban - a family I met last year through A_Rocha. Leaving for
Tarapoto
in the Amazon region of the country this Friday. In the meantime I've been visiting friends and learning about environmental education projects around Lima. Today I went with Amparo on a field_trip she organized for a group of 35 ninth-graders to the Reserva Nacional de Lachay, about 2 hours up the coast from here. The area is best known for its "lomas," or green oasises in the barren sand landscape of coastal
Peru
, which receive moisture from mist blown in from the ocean. In addition to gaining an appreciation of the natural beauty in this place, the kids learned about important ecological concepts, such as the effects of deforestation and climate change.
