Zamora-Chinchipe is a Province of the Republic
of Ecuador, located at southeastern end of the Amazon Basin, which
shares borders with the Ecuadorian provinces of Azuay and Morona-Santiago
to the north, Loja and Azuay to the west, and with Peru to the east
and south. The province comprises an area of approximately 10.556
km^(2) and is covered with a uniquely mountainous topography which
markedly distinguishes it from the surrounding Amazonian provinces.
Zamora-Chinchipe is characterized and largely identified by its mining
industry; indigenous ethnic groups with a rich archaeological legacy;
its biodiversity; and its niche and tourist attractions, which include
a number of waterfalls well-noted for their beauty. The province
takes its name from the bureaucratic fusion of the Zamora and Chinchipe
cantons. The provincial capital is the city of Zamora.
