Peat bogs known as "bofedales" occupy the bottom of the valley of Pastoruri glacier; covered with a short vegetation, they are almost always saturated with water. They provide an important grazing area for native camelids (nature reserve of Huascarán - Ancash - Peru). Ce milieu caractéristique appelé bofedale est composé de tourbières, il occupe de fond de vallée glaciaire du glacier Pastoruri et est presque toujours saturé en eau et couvert de végétation rase. Il est utilisé comme pâturage (parc naturel de Huascarán - Ancash - Pérou).
