Description

Pasco is a region located in the central highlands of Peru, known for its rich mineral resources and stunning Andean landscapes. The capital city of the region is Cerro de Pasco, which is situated at a high altitude and is one of the highest cities in the world. The economy of Pasco is primarily driven by mining, particularly the extraction of zinc, lead, and silver.

The region boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, with numerous national parks and protected areas that showcase its natural beauty. The high-altitude climate leads to a unique ecosystem that supports various species endemic to the Andes. Outdoor activities such as trekking, bird watching, and exploring indigenous cultures are popular among visitors.

Pasco is also home to several archaeological sites that reflect the rich history of the region, including remnants of pre-Columbian civilizations. The local culture is influenced by both indigenous traditions and Spanish colonial heritage, offering a unique blend that attracts tourists interested in history and anthropology.
