Tarma Province

Tarma Province extends across 2,749 square kilometers of land at elevations reaching 3,053 meters, forming part of the central Junín Region of Peru.

The region transformed from an Intendancy under Spanish rule in 1784 to a Department in 1821, marking a crucial period in Peruvian administrative evolution.

The province maintains strong agricultural traditions with extensive production of flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables throughout its nine distinct districts.

The province connects Peru's capital region to high forest areas through a network of roads that facilitate trade and transportation across different ecological zones.

Local citizens received a silver shield from José de San Martín in recognition of their substantial support during Peru's independence movement.
