The ecology of the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is extremely diverse and complex, since this biodiversity includes ten wildlife zones, from the low, dry mountain forest – by the side of the valley – to the level of the mountain range summits. In terms of altitude, this means that it reaches from 1,725 m. at the level of the Urubamba River, up to 6,271 m. at snowy Salcantay’s summit. As a consequence, these geographical variations, and the singular topography, originate a really wide range of flora and wild fauna (a great biodiversity). http://ping.fm/FL6GC
