Concepción Province

The province extends across 3,067 square kilometers of central Peru's highlands, containing fifteen districts with Concepción city as its administrative center point.

The Battle of La Concepción in July 1882 marked a significant event where 1,300 Peruvian forces prevailed against 77 Chilean soldiers during the War of the Pacific.

The Convent of Santa Rosa de Ocopa maintains a collection of artifacts and documents from early Spanish expeditions into the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.

The province sits at an elevation of 3,283 meters above sea level, requiring visitors to allow time for altitude adjustment when traveling from lower regions.

The Huaytapallana mountain range crosses through the territory, creating diverse agricultural zones that support the cultivation of high-altitude crops throughout the year.
