The province spans 2,799 square kilometers across northwestern Peru, containing six districts and bordering the Pacific Ocean with coastal beaches and mountain ranges.
The province, established in 1956 under President Manuel Odría, developed into a crucial military location during World War II due to its strategic oil reserves.

The region connects through the Cap FAP Víctor Montes Arias Airport and multiple highways, while the Talara Refinery supports the local petroleum industry.
