Puerto Inca Province

Puerto Inca Province stretches across 9,913 square kilometers of land, containing five districts within the central region of Peru at 212 meters elevation.

The establishment of Japanese settlements in the early twentieth century introduced rice and coffee cultivation practices that shaped the agricultural development of Puerto Inca Province.

The province maintains a linguistic diversity where Spanish represents 89.5% of speakers, while indigenous languages including Quechua, Asháninka, and Aymara remain present.

The province provides administrative services through its capital Puerto Inca, managing the districts of Codo del Pozuzo, Honoria, Puerto Inca, Tournavista, and Yuyapichis.

El Sira Communal Reserve within the province contains the habitat of Rhynchoppia puertoincaensis, a mite species discovered and named after the region in 2017.
