Piura Province, Administrative province in northern Peru
Piura Province encompasses several districts across northern Peru, with the city of Piura serving as its administrative center. The region spans diverse terrain and communities that form an important part of Peru's coastal area.
The province was established in 1861 as part of Peru's territorial reorganization. It has since developed into a key economic center in the northern coastal region.
The district of Catacaos maintains craft traditions through artisans who work with pottery and textiles using methods passed down through families. These handmade pieces shape the character of the place and connect residents to their heritage.
The Pan-American Highway connects the area to other coastal cities and serves as the main route through the region. Roads within the province vary in condition, so it helps to plan routes based on current local conditions.
Certain districts like Tallán contain archaeological remnants from pre-Columbian times that offer glimpses into early settlements. These sites reveal how the area was inhabited and shaped over many centuries.
