Luya Province

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Luya, the district in Amazonas, Peru, see Luya

Luya is located in the south and west part of the department of Amazonas. Its territory, which partly is ceja de selva, is crossed by branches of the Cordillera Central and Oriental of the Andes, being rasped by deep streams, high pampas and snowed summit. It deserved to be named the streams of Hoyada Grande and Luya, the fertile valleys of Pizuquia and Cesuya, as well as the snow-capped mountains of Shube, Mesón and Santa Clara located in the Cordillera Oriental.

Its principal rivers are:

Marañon that flows from south to northwest and forms its extensive west limit with the department of Cajamarca
Utcubamba, which runs from south to north-east and forms its east boundary with the provinces of Chachapoyas and Bongará
Magunchal, which is born in the heights of the district of Colcamar, runs from south to north and ends into the Utcubamba, forming its most extensive and rich agricultural zone.

The province created by law of February 5, 1861, has 23 districts and its capital is Lamud.
