The marbled water frog (Telmatobius marmoratus), is one of the two highest elevation frogs in the world, both of which occur in the Cordillera Vilcanota. These frogs spend their entire lives in pristine freshwater habitats. A threatened species declining from harvesting by humans, destruction of their habitat, introduction of invasive trout, and the chytrid disease.

Liolaemus thomasi, a high andean lizard restricted to a few valleys high in the Andes of Southern Peru.

Vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), the wild relatives of domestic llamas and alpacas, roam free over the puna grassland in the high Andes.
