Orellana Province, Province in northeastern Amazon region, Ecuador
The province spans across 21,601 square kilometers of terrain at 232 meters elevation, bordered by Sucumbíos, Napo, Pastaza, and Peru to the east.
The territory received its independence status as a province in 1998, separating from Napo Province to become the twenty-second province of Ecuador.
Indigenous groups including Amazonian Kichwa and Waorani communities maintain their traditions within the dense forests of the province.
