History
El Olivar preserves olive trees from 19th-century estates and marks San Isidro's transition from haciendas to urban parks; coastal terraces borrow Inca andenes techniques to stabilize cliffs.
Conservation
Urban green spaces act as critical stopovers for migratory birds and rely on native plantings and careful visitor behavior to reduce disturbance; avoid feeding wildlife and stick to paths.
