The Cordillera Azul National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul) in Peru was created as a product of the process of categorization and definitive delimitation of the Reserved Zone Blue Biabo mountain range. As soon as the process was finished, the zone corresponding to the Blue Mountain range was declared as National Park by means of supreme decree.[2]
