While the habitat of the animals in the Caylloma Province is a desert located high in the mountains, there is an elevated level of biodiversity in this area. Presently, 231 especially adapted vertebrates have been recorded, and the habitat of some of the species is rather specific, like wetlands, or queñual forest, or lakes.
The most important animals that live in this region are the condor, flamingo, llama, guanaco, alpaca, vicuña, taruka, fox, and viscacha. Endangered species
