Peru

The Jaén region is a tropical rainforest with a warm climate year-round. The city of Jaén, which shares the region's name, is considered one of the hottest cities in the country.

The heat is offset by frequent, refreshing rains throughout the year, though they are concentrated mainly between December and March.

The region has great potential and several tourist attractions, including protected reserves, archaeological sites, and beautiful natural landscapes.

Two of the city's most important tourist attractions are the Hermógenes Mejía Solf Regional Museum and the Señor de Huamantanga Forest, which is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

This forest is home to Peru's national bird, the Andean cock-of-the-rock. The rock redstart, one of the country's most colourful birds, can also be found living in the waterfalls of the coffee farms.

The province of Jaén is traversed by the interior branch of the western Andes mountain range, popularly known as the Chamaya Andes. The outer branch of this mountain range is located west of the beautiful Huancabamba River, and the eastern branch of the Andes is located east of the Marañón River.
