Visict of Chunatahua

Summary
This visit was carried out by Engineer Mauricio from the Department of Food
Industries and students from the UNAS Language Center.
The purpose of this was to get to know the place from a new perspective,
because despite the fact that it is a small growing town, it has the necessary
services (electricity, water, drainage, internet, telephone lines).
We met the residents of the place, the manager and the engineer who works
and lives there, they briefly told us their story of how and when all this began.
They introduced us to the cocoa, coffee, and banana plantations through a
guided tour. As well as the small coffee processing plant, thanks to the
engineer, she told us how the whole project started, the residents were also
interested in making fish farms since the place has or contains water holes, it is
a term that is used much later, it will be explained that is.
We also had a small sharing with the group of students and the teachers in
charge of this visit.
It was good to expand our knowledge, and for those foreigners we highly
recommend bringing a good field implementation and a lot of repellent.
I. Introduction
The purpose of this work is to recognize the biodiversity of Caserío
Chunatahua.
To get to that place, it should be noted that we left the UNAS university towards
the Chunatahua hamlet, Mariano Dámaso Beraún District, Leoncio Prado
Province, Huánuco Region.
They left us 10 minutes from the central track, the car could no longer enter
since the road was very narrow and dangerous, there was 45 minutes left to
reach the village, our colleagues took a taxi, motorcycles, etc. On the other
hand, the brave ones who went on an adventure mode, myself and my friends,
dared to walk, the walk was very relaxing, we really saw small waterfalls and
the beautiful landscape that accompanies us in this beautiful jungle.
Chunatahua is a growing hamlet that has basic services such as water,
drainage, electricity and internet. This small town is growing little by little, they
want their children to go to school.
They have a coffee processing plant, although the land is rocky and is not
suitable for planting, this was not an impediment for this small town, which
manages to improve every day.
While the hours passed, the colleagues who were in a Food commission
grabbed their own to prepare it and have a small share, since the consumption
of food is necessary for this particular walk.
While the hours passed and the weather did not help since it was garuaba, we
stayed close to a hut where we sang, we helped shell corn.
The hour passed so quickly that we had to return and end the walk, we walked
until we reached the buz and thus said goodbye to this small Caserio.
II. Aim
- Recognition of the existing biodiversity in the Chunatahua farmhouse.
- Consolidate our knowledge through lived experience

3.4. ACCESS ROUTES OF THE ROAD TO INTERVENE

To travel from the city of Tingo María (capital of the Leoncio Prado Province) to
the area of influence of the project, 22.5 km of the central road is traveled in the
direction of Huánuco, for which
You can travel by bus or car for 25 minutes to reach the village of Es Cayumba
(beginning of the section) and from there you can travel in vans along the
neighboring road to improve, to reach
Chunatahua Km 3.7, then you reach the Huaraz farmhouse (Km 9+310) and
from Chunatahua to Alto Chunatahua (Km 3+090)
• Physical Characteristics
This aspect considers the local flora and fauna, the climatic, hydrological, soil
characteristics and geotechnical aspects. For the last two, make pits of 1.50 m.
deep, at least
one per homogeneous section, depending on how the road has been divided
into sectors, if necessary, performs laboratory tests (see study in annex)
• Flora and Fauna of the District
Flora
It is important to mention that currently in the district of Mariano Dámaso Beraún
there are 25,000 hectares of primary forests that house a varied and abundant
wild tropical flora, timber, medicinal, artisanal, ornamental, etc. very useful to
the local inhabitant who often has to resort to them to supply some items that he
cannot buy in the market.
The physiographic formation of a large extension of forests favors the
development of a varied forestry production, housing important medicinal
species of commercial value such as; sanango, ojé, sangre de grado, cat's claw
and copaiba, among others. In the timber forest species of greatest commercial
value we have: tornillo, mohena, cedar, walnut, mahogany, etc., which are not
intensively exploited because they are located in the area of the Tingo María
National Park, declared an intangible zone by the state. Other important species
frequently used by the inhabitants are: wild cane, bamboo, pona or shonta,
manchinga, estoraque, caspi milk, shiringa, tinsel and various palm trees
popularly used by the locals.
Fauna
The wild fauna of the district is diverse, with a large number and variety of major
and minor species, birds and insects, which constitute the biotic balance of this
area.
At present the district has a minimum quantity of species in frequent demand by
the local population such as: the añuje, picuro or majaz, deer, sachavaca,
armadillo, white-lipped peccary, etc;
among the birds we have: parrots, parrots, pihuichos, sparrows, guacharos,
coots, herons,
owls, cock of the rock, the latter in the process of extinction.
There is also a great variety of reptiles, amphibians and batrachians typical of
the tropics as well as; insects and arthropods.
• Climatic Characteristics
The climate of the district according to the climate classification map of Peru
prepared by SENAMHI, is
WARM RAINY, typical of areas belonging to the Rupa Rupa or Selva Alta
Region.
Precipitation
The warm rainy climate with abundant rainfall during the rainy season
(December-May), with an estimated annual rainfall of 2,780 mm. (Weather
Station
NAILS). The average monthly Relative Humidity is 83% and its rate of variation
is in accordance with the rainy cycle, registering higher humidity during the rainy
season.
Temperature
During the year 2008 an average temperature of 24.46 °C was registered, with
a maximum of 25.68 °C and a minimum of 22.89 °C, its variation is frequent
between the months of May and September, registering
the lowest temperatures in the months of June and August, during nighttime
hours known as friazos or surazos, caused by cold winds from the South
Atlantic, included within the maritime polar anticyclone.
Hydrographic Characteristics
The hydrography of the district is dominated by the Huallaga River that crosses
the district from East to West, beginning the territory called Valle del Alto
Huallaga, which begins at the limits of the Chinchao district with Mariano
Dámaso Beraún and extends to the Campanilla district. in the province of
Mariscal Cáceres in the region of San Martín. In the lower-middle part of the
district, on the banks of the Las Pavas river, the micro-basin called Las Pavas is
formed. This geoeconomic unit has an approximate extension of 5,000
hectares, which is part of the hydrographic system of the Huallaga River.
• Main River of the District

The Huallaga River is the main natural water source, measuring approximately
45 m. wide and has a slope of 10%, with little torrential flow, wide reception
cause, great length and
navigable throughout the year. In its journey through the district it forms the flat
alluvial terrain of the area.
The Monzón River is the second most important natural source of water and the
first tributary of the Huallaga. It is located on the western limit of the district, it is
approximately 40 m wide, with a torrential flow and
slope close to 8%, in its course on the right bank forms alluvial land that
corresponds to the district and is navigable throughout the year.
The network of secondary tributaries is formed by non-navigable rivers of little
cause, flow and slope, among which are; Las Pavas River, Tambillo River, Las
Palmas River, Tres de Mayo River, Cayumba River. These secondary water
currents are very useful to the inhabitants of the district, since they serve as
sources of water supply.
