Paucartambo Province

Paucartambo Province stretches across 6,295 square kilometers of varied terrain, from high mountain peaks to deep valleys in southern Peru.

The province served as a crucial trade route between the Andes and Amazon regions during the Inca Empire, connecting Cusco with eastern territories.

The population of 47,313 residents maintains strong Quechua traditions, with 85 percent of inhabitants speaking Quechua as their primary language.

Visitors can reach the province through a 110-kilometer journey from Cusco city, with regular bus services operating between both locations.

The Stone and Lime Bridge, commissioned by King Carlos III during colonial times, remains a central infrastructure element connecting provincial communities.
