What to Know About Ranrahirca
Key Facts
Ranrahirca is a district located in the Yungay Province of the Ancash Region in Peru. Situated in the central highlands of the country, this district lies within the Callejón de Huaylas valley, nestled between the Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Blanca mountain ranges. Ranrahirca covers an area of approximately 120 square kilometers and has a population of around 3,000 residents who primarily engage in agriculture and tourism. The district is administratively divided into several populated centers and villages, with its capital serving as the main urban settlement. Tragically, Ranrahirca is historically significant for being one of the towns devastated by the 1962 and 1970 Ancash earthquakes, particularly the catastrophic 1970 event that triggered a massive avalanche from Mount Huascarán, burying much of the original settlement. Today, the rebuilt town serves as an important agricultural center in the region, known for its potato and maize production, while also attracting visitors interested in the area's geological history and mountain landscapes. For those seeking to access postal services or communicate with residents and businesses in Ranrahirca, accurate postal code information for its various populated centers is essential for efficient mail delivery and administrative purposes.
