This expansive province covers approximately 46,610 square kilometers of predominantly tropical rainforest terrain, making it one of the largest provinces within Loreto.

With an estimated population of around 50,000 people, the province is characterized by its rich biodiversity and is home to several indigenous groups including the Awajún, Wampis, and Shawi peoples who maintain traditional lifestyles closely connected to the rainforest environment. The provincial capital of San Lorenzo serves as the main administrative and commercial center, though much of the population lives in rural communities scattered throughout the forest.
