Utcubamba Province
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Utcubamba is a province of the Amazonas Region, Peru. It was created by law 23843 on May 30, 1984. Its capital is Bagua Grande and its principal attraction is the Touristic Corridor of Utcubamba where the valley becomes notably closer forming "the canyon of Utcubamba". These conditions modify the climate in a substantial way and an ecological radical change happens. The place makes itself more fresh, the vegetation most lustful with some remains of the original vegetation of the area and beautiful orchids. Some of these orchids are unique in the world. Notably picturesque cascades are observed in the rocky vertical walls that the river has worked. There are some hot springs a few meters from El Ingenio bridge.
The election of this corridor lies in the beauty of the scenery and in the tourist activities that can be generated in it, like canoeing, minor watercraft navigation, fishing and recreation sports.
