Bolívar Province, Mountain province in La Libertad, Peru

Bolívar Province extends over 1,718 square kilometers of diverse terrain, ranging from high jungle zones to valleys along the Marañón River.

The province, established in 1916 as Cajamarquilla, received its current name in 1925 to honor Simón Bolívar during President Augusto Leguía's administration.

The annual Patronal Festival of Santa Rosa de Lima on August 30 brings together local communities for traditional dances like pachacas and pastoras.

The region maintains a network of roads connecting its six districts: Bolívar, Bambamarca, Condormarca, Longotea, Uchumarca, and Ucuncha.

The fortress of Pacarishka, constructed by Inca Túpac Yupanqui, stands as a historical structure within the provincial boundaries.
