What to Know About Purús

Key Facts

Purús is a province located in the Ucayali region of eastern Peru, situated in the heart of the Amazon rainforest near the Brazilian border. This remote province covers approximately 17,848 square kilometers of dense tropical forest and is named after the Purús River, one of the major tributaries of the Amazon River that flows through its territory. With a population of around 4,500 people according to recent estimates, Purús is one of the most sparsely populated provinces in Peru, characterized by its vast wilderness areas and indigenous communities. The province is divided into just one district, also called Purús, reflecting its remote and undeveloped nature. Purús serves as a crucial conservation area, containing significant biodiversity and protected territories for indigenous groups who maintain traditional ways of life. The provincial capital is Esperanza, a small settlement accessible primarily by river transport or air due to the absence of road connections through the dense rainforest. This province represents one of the most isolated and pristine areas of the Peruvian Amazon, making postal code information essential for facilitating communication and service delivery to its remote communities.
