ESPINAR
HISTORY OF THE PROVINCE
Canas and Canchis
In 1917, the province of Canas, was split into two to make way for the province of Espinar, in tribute to Commander General Ladislao Espinar, hero of the battle of San Francisco, also identified as capital to the people of Yauri, and the districts Coporaque, Pichigua, Occoruro, Condoroma and Pallpata.
The Canas, were a "nation of nations" whose people were Hatun K'ana, Chiguana, Horuro, Ayawiris, Canas, Canchis, among others.
In 7000 years of evolcución, the province of Espinar, has managed to forge a rich and varied culture, leaving a large number of samples of his greatness, of which we are heirs, but none of these samples serve if we do not share them with the population Cusco, Peru and the world.
Espinar is located at 3915 m.s.n.m. In the basin of the High Apurimac, 244 kilometres south west of the city of Cusco, and its geographical classification is predominant or puna jalca.
The city of Yauri, is the capital of Espinar and due to its strategic location between the provinces high, it becomes a hub for coordinating economic activities, political and social consequences of the province, its eight districts and provinces Canas, Canchis, Chumbivilcas , as well as the regions of Arequipa and Puno.
The Extension territorial Espinar is 5311.9 km2 and a population of approximately 65 thousand inhabitants, who are engaged in farming and trade.
