Key Facts

Apurímac is a region located in the southern-central highlands of Peru, situated within the Andean mountain range. This administrative region covers an area of approximately 20,896 square kilometers and serves as one of Peru's 25 regions, positioned between the departments of Cusco to the east and Ayacucho to the west. With a population of around 430,000 people, Apurímac is characterized by its rugged terrain, deep river canyons, and significant elevation variations that range from 2,000 to over 4,000 meters above sea level. The region is administratively divided into 7 provinces: Abancay, Andahuaylas, Antabamba, Aymaraes, Chincheros, Cotabambas, and Grau, with Abancay serving as the regional capital. Apurímac's geography is dominated by the Apurímac River, one of the main headwaters of the Amazon River, which carves through dramatic canyons including the famous Apurímac Canyon. The region's economy is primarily based on agriculture, mining, and increasingly tourism, with visitors drawn to its archaeological sites, traditional Quechua culture, and opportunities for adventure sports.
