Celendín Province

Celendín Province extends across 2,641 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 2,620 meters in the Cajamarca Department of northern Peru.

The provincial territory, established on September 30, 1862, has developed from an agricultural region into an administrative entity with twelve distinct districts.

Local communities in the province maintain traditional textile production methods and celebrate seasonal festivals that reflect their Andean mountain heritage.

The province connects to neighboring regions through a network of roads, with the city of Celendín serving as the main transportation hub.

The varied elevations within the province create multiple microclimates that support different agricultural products across its twelve districts.
