The Huaraz Province is one of twenty provinces of the Ancash Region in Peru. It was created on August 5, 1857 during the presidency of Ramón Castilla.[1] Geographically, the province is located over the Callejón de Huaylas and the western slopes of the Cordillera Negra.
The Regional Museum of Archaeology is located in the Huaraz district. Some other highlights of the province are the Pumacayán hill, the hot springs of Monterrey (at 6 km or 4 mi from the city) and the Willkawain archaeological sites,[2] at 13 kilometres (8 mi) to the north of Huaraz, in village of Paria, in the Independencia district.
