Key Facts

Padre Márquez is a district located in the Loreto Region of northeastern Peru, specifically within the Ucayali Province. Situated in the Amazon rainforest basin, this district occupies a strategic position along the Ucayali River, one of the main tributaries of the Amazon River. The district covers approximately 4,500 square kilometers of predominantly tropical rainforest terrain, characterized by dense vegetation, numerous waterways, and biodiverse ecosystems typical of the Peruvian Amazon. With an estimated population of around 12,000 inhabitants, Padre Márquez represents one of the smaller administrative divisions within Ucayali Province, consisting of several populated centers and indigenous communities scattered throughout its territory. The district is administratively divided into multiple populated centers and smaller settlements, reflecting the dispersed settlement pattern common in Amazonian regions where communities are often located along riverbanks for transportation access. The economy primarily revolves around subsistence agriculture, fishing, and small-scale timber extraction, with many residents belonging to indigenous groups who maintain traditional lifestyles and cultural practices. As a district-level administrative unit, Padre Márquez contains various smaller populated centers and settlements that require specific postal addressing systems for effective communication and service delivery throughout this remote Amazonian territory.
