neutral  Lester Tattersall: Yes, but "is to be found" infers that it is only there. The text doesn't mean that - the species is also present downriver and in the sea - it's a "marine species" after all. If it were "can be found", then possibly.

Explanation:
"In the river Majes it reaches a distance of up to 157 kilometres from the sea and a height of 1,702 m at Lake Mamacocha."
Or "they reach", as the translator prefers.
The Spanish sentence could have been written thus:
'llega a una distancia de hasta 157 kilómetros del mar y una altura de...'
It's exactly the same as the previous sentence – "llegan hasta la localidad de Sipia..." - but the writer wants to vary the vocabulary.
