Tingo María, Agricultural center in Rupa-Rupa District, Peru
The capital of Leoncio Prado Province sits at 647 meters above sea level, where the Monzón and Huallaga rivers meet in central Peru.
The establishment of Tingo María in 1938 followed the construction of Montaña Road, transforming an unreachable area into a significant agricultural settlement.
The University of Tingo María and its botanical garden serve as educational centers for studying the region's agricultural practices and natural resources.
The city functions as a transportation hub with an airport offering daily regional flights and highways connecting Lima to the Amazon region.
The adjacent national park features a limestone mountain formation that creates the silhouette of a reclining woman against the Peruvian sky.
