The mammal fauna of the Parque Nacional Tingo María (PNTM) mainly is known for local people interviews. In this work, using camera traps and its verification by interviews to local people we report medium and large mammals list of the PNTM. Evaluations were realized between December 2014 and November 2018. Sampling effort was of 2970 camera traps/day, with 1640 independent records. Nineteen wild species were recorded, four of which were new reports to the PNTM (the water opossum Chironectes minimus, the margay Leopardus wiedii, the Northern tiger cat Leopardus tigrinus and the crab-eating raccoon Procyon cancrivorus), three were new reports for the Peruvian yungas (L. wiedii, the capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and the Neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis) and two (H. hydrochaeris and L. wiedii) have been registered as its higher altitude record in Peru.
