Bagua Province, Administrative province in Amazonas region, Peru

The Bagua Province extends across varied terrains from 400-meter hills along the Marañón River to 2,500-meter elevations in southern mountain zones.

The province gained international attention in 2009 when indigenous communities organized protests against laws permitting resource extraction companies to enter their territories.

The local population maintains traditional agricultural practices and artisanal activities passed through generations, contributing to the region's economic structure.

The province contains six administrative districts: Aramango, Bagua, Copallín, El Parco, Imaza, and La Peca, with the city of Bagua as its capital.

The region harbors numerous animal species including pumas, anteaters, ocelots, and various snake species within its Amazon rainforest ecosystem.
