Pangoa District

Pangoa District is an administrative district in Satipo Province located in central Peru with varied terrain and multiple waterfalls. The landscape transitions from highland areas to agricultural zones where farming communities are settled.

The district was established with San Martín de Pangoa serving as its administrative center, which grew into a regional hub. This settlement developed at about 676 meters elevation and has remained the seat of local governance.

Local communities grow coffee and cacao using methods passed down through generations, shaping how people work and live in this area.

The district borders eight neighboring districts and can be reached through regional connections. Navigation within the area is best done with help from local guides or residents familiar with the terrain and conditions.

The district features multiple waterfalls scattered throughout different elevation zones across the landscape. These natural formations create striking views and are often overlooked by visitors who stick to main settlements.
