La Convención Province
La Convención Province, Administrative province in Cuzco Department, Peru
La Convención Province is an administrative region in Cusco that stretches from high mountain terrain to lower Amazon basin areas. The province is divided into fourteen districts, each with distinct geography and communities.
The area was originally settled by the Inca and later became an important agricultural region. Coffee farming became central to the region's economy starting in the colonial period.
Asháninka, Machiguenga, Yine, and Quechua peoples shape daily life with their own languages and customs across the districts. You can see these traditions in local crafts, community practices, and the way people organize their work and celebrations.
Quillabamba serves as the provincial capital and main hub for reaching remote areas within the territory. It offers basic services and accommodation for travelers exploring the different districts and surrounding regions.
The territory contains Salcantay, a towering peak over 6,000 meters high, contrasting sharply with lowland Amazon plains. This dramatic change in elevation creates distinct climates and ecosystems in close proximity to each other.
