Sullana Province, Administrative province in northwestern Piura Department, Peru
Sullana Province is an administrative region in northwestern Piura with eight districts and diverse landscapes. The Chira River flows through fertile lands and shapes the structure of both rural and urban areas.
The province was founded in 1911 and grew from an agricultural settlement into a major production center. Cotton farming shaped its economic growth and made it an important region in northern Peru.
The provincial capital Sullana is known for its craft traditions and local markets where textiles and agricultural goods are bought and sold. People gather in public spaces to exchange products and share their daily commerce.
The region has good connections to Ecuador through multiple road routes that allow easy travel in both directions. Visitors should expect better accessibility during the dry season when roads are in better condition.
A large water reservoir supplies the agricultural lands and is remarkable infrastructure for the entire region. This water system shows how the population has made the landscape usable for farming.
