Tingo María Peru

Tingo María is the capital of Leoncio Prado Province in the Huánuco Region in central Peru. The city is located where two important rivers meet: the Monzón and the Huallaga, a main tributary of the Marañón River. Near the city is Tingo María National Park, which protects the surrounding nature and a limestone mountain range in the shape of a sleeping woman. It is known as La Bella Durmiente or Pumarinri. A local legend explains the origin of the mountain’s shape. The main attraction is a cave called Cueva de las Lechuzas. The mayor is Juan Picón Quedo, a member of a local business family. An important local cacao industry is the Cooperativa Agroindustrial Naranjillo, which exports its products to foreign markets.
