Herrera Province, Province with tropical climate in Azuero Peninsula, Panama.
Herrera Province extends across 2,340 square kilometers of land, featuring dry tropical forests, agricultural plains, and mangrove-lined coastal areas along the Gulf of Parita.
The province gained its current status in 1915 when President Belisario Porras separated it from Los Santos Province and named it after General Tomás Herrera.
The Festival del Manito Ocueño brings together regional craftsmen who showcase traditional pottery, devil masks, and pre-Columbian artifact reproductions.
The province contains seven districts including Chitré, Las Minas, Los Pozos, Ocú, Parita, Pesé, and Santa María, with Chitré serving as the administrative center.
Herrera leads Panama's sugarcane production and houses the Varela Hermanos distillery in Pesé, which produces Seco Herrerano, the national spirit of Panama.
