Antabamba Province

Antabamba Province is an administrative region in the Andes at elevations above 3,600 meters (11,800 feet), featuring mountainous terrain and high peaks. The territory comprises seven districts with the city of Antabamba as its main administrative hub.

This province was established as an administrative region within Apurímac Department and has maintained its territorial structure through Peru's various governmental changes. Its boundaries reflect the country's administrative evolution over time.

Quechua is the main language spoken here, and local communities maintain indigenous traditions in their daily lives. This heritage shapes how people interact and express their connection to the land.

The region sits at high altitude where visitors should expect cold temperatures, especially at night and during winter months. The seven districts are spread across mountainous terrain, so planning ahead is important for exploration.

The region experiences dramatic temperature shifts between seasons, ranging from mild daytime conditions to freezing nights. These extremes shape how residents adapt and live in this high-altitude setting.
