starts withThe Cajamarca antpitta is endemic to the north-western Peruvian Andes, and west of the Marañón River. It is only found in three departments: Cajamarca, Piura and Lambayeque. It is found at elevations of 2850–3400 m. It inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges; it prefers the understory and forest floor. It is most commonly seen near the city of Cajamarca, the capital of the Cajamarca region and can also be found in the Pagaibamba Protection Forest.
The Marañón and Huancabamba rivers separate the Cajamarca antpitta from the closely related Equatorial antpitta.
