La Convención Province

La Convención Province spans 30,082 square kilometers across southern Peru, ranging from high mountain peaks to lower Amazon basin territories.

The province evolved from an Incan settlement area to become a major agricultural center, particularly recognized for coffee production since the colonial period.

Indigenous communities including Asháninka, Machiguenga, Yine, and Quechua peoples maintain their languages and traditions throughout the province's fourteen districts.

Quillabamba, the provincial capital, connects travelers to remote areas and provides access to agricultural trade routes across the region.

The province contains geographical extremes, from the 6,264-meter Salcantay peak to 284-meter-deep Amazon Basin valleys along the Ucayali River.
