Otuzco Province, Administrative province in La Libertad Department, Peru.

Otuzco Province encompasses ten districts across 2,110 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northern Peru, with elevations reaching 2,732 meters above sea level.

The province gained its administrative status in 1861 following the proposal of José Corcuera and Enemecio Orbegozo, establishing Otuzco city as its capital.

The Virgen de la Puerta festival in December draws thousands of pilgrims who walk 73 kilometers from Trujillo to participate in religious ceremonies.

Transportation to Otuzco Province includes regular buses and shared cars departing from Trujillo, with journey times averaging between 90 and 120 minutes.

The province maintains an agricultural economy focused on wheat and potato cultivation, with products distributed through local markets and trading networks in Trujillo.
