In few Kms it is possible to ascend from the level of the sea up to bordering on the 5000 mts crossing different ecological floors.

The fauna of the coastal hills is changed but it has never been very rich in number of individuals due to the existence of little food since the pastures are sprayed only by coastal mist, not for rain.

The most advisable points to find them are located on the south coast: Paracas's National Reservation, in Ica's department, possesses important loberias in the islands Cross-bow, Top Arquillo and Burnt Knob, where probably there centers the major number of marine wolves of the whole country.

Something more in the southern part Top is San Juan, Reserved Zone established to protect the places of anidamiento from the birds guaneras, pinguinos from Humboldt and to a great colony of marine wolves.
