Ayabaca Province, Administrative province in northwestern Piura, Peru
The territory spans 5,230 square kilometers across the western Andes mountains, containing ten districts and reaching elevations of 3,023 meters above sea level.
The province, established in 1865, derives its name from Quechua words 'aya' and 'huaca', reflecting the connection to ancient sacred places in the region.
The archaeological site of Aypate, located 49 kilometers east of the capital, displays Inca constructions and pre-Inca sanctuaries from earlier civilizations.
The region experiences temperatures between 10 and 19 degrees Celsius, with substantial rainfall of 1,297 millimeters occurring primarily from December to March.
