    Lichenological investigations were conducted in the region of Colca Valley, Colca Canyon and Valley of the Volcanoes (Central Andes), in the area of puna, at altitudes between 3000 and 5000 m a.s.l. Specimens were collected on 20 sites, located using GPS receiver. Most of the 150 specimens are crustose lichens. Squamulose, foliose and fruticose lichens are less frequent. Epilithic lichens belong mostly to genera <i>Acarospora</i>, <i>Buellia</i> and <i>Psiloparmelia</i>. Among epigeic lichens most common are species of following genera: <i>Acarospora</i>, <i>Flavoparmelia</i>, <i>Lecidea</i>, <i>Caloplaca</i>, <i>Lepraria</i> and <i>Physconia</i>. On wooden parts of cacti genera: <i>Buellia</i>, <i>Caloplaca</i>, <i>Teloschistes</i> and <i>Xanthoria</i> were identified, and on wooden parts of vascular plants genera: <i>Physcia</i>, <i>Buellia</i>, <i>Candelariella</i>, <i>Usnea</i>, <i>Parmelia</i> and <i>Caloplaca</i>. Now further work is being done to determine the species and the level of lichen biodiversity in this region.
