Concepción Province

Concepción Province covers the highlands of central Peru and includes fifteen districts with Concepción city serving as the administrative center. The territory comprises a mountainous region with extensive areas for farming and various rural communities.

The region was founded during Spanish colonial times and developed as part of Peru's administrative structure. It played a role in regional conflicts during the 19th century and continues to shape local identity.

The Convent of Santa Rosa de Ocopa holds a collection of documents and objects from early Spanish explorations into the Peruvian Amazon region.

The region sits at high elevation, so visitors should allow time to adjust before undertaking strenuous activities. The dry season offers the best conditions for traveling and exploring the various communities and natural areas.

The Huaytapallana mountain range crosses the territory and creates multiple climate zones for growing crops throughout the year. This geological feature allows local communities to cultivate different crops at varying elevations.
