Key Facts

Palpa is a province located in the Ica Region of southwestern Peru, situated in the coastal desert region approximately 350 kilometers south of Lima. Geographically positioned in the northern part of the Ica Region, Palpa lies along the narrow coastal plain between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east, with the province extending inland to include portions of the western Andean foothills. Covering an area of approximately 1,232 square kilometers, Palpa is one of the smaller provinces in Peru but holds significant archaeological importance as part of the Nazca cultural heartland. The province has an estimated population of around 13,000 residents, with the majority concentrated in agricultural valleys fed by seasonal rivers descending from the Andes. Palpa is administratively divided into five districts: Palpa (the provincial capital), Llipata, Río Grande, Santa Cruz, and Tibillo, each containing various populated centers and rural communities. The province's economy is primarily based on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of grapes, olives, and other fruits that thrive in the desert climate with irrigation.
