The Wayqecha Biological Station is a tropical ecological research station near Peru's Manú National Park. This research station is located in the upper reaches of the river Cosñipata, an affluent of the Madre de Dios River, in the Paucartambo Province, Cusco Region. The station ranges from 2200 to 3700 m in elevation and includes several Andean ecosystems, such as montane forests, elfin forests, montane scrub and high-Andean grassland (puna). These ecosystems are connected by a series of trails and by the road Paucartambo-Shintuya. The station was established in 2005 and is managed by two non-governmental organizations: the Peruvian NGO Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica (ACCA) and the US-based Amazon Conservation Association (ACA), which also manages the Los Amigos Biological Station in the lowland rainforest of southeastern Peru.
