Maynas Province, Province in Loreto Department, Peru
Maynas Province spans across northeastern Peru, containing eleven districts and bordered by Ecuador, Colombia, and other Peruvian provinces to the south and southwest.
The province transformed from the General Command of Maynas into the Quijos Department through a decree signed in 1822, enabling the selection of deputies.
The population of Maynas Province communicates primarily in Spanish, with small communities preserving Quechua and Aymara languages in specific areas.
Access to Maynas Province and its capital Iquitos requires air or river transportation, as no roads connect the region to other parts of Peru.
The Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve within Maynas Province contains multiple ecological zones and maintains high levels of biological diversity.
