Yanahuanca is a town in central Peru. It serves as the capital of the province of Daniel Alcídes Carrión, which lies within the Pasco region.
The town's role as a provincial capital makes it the administrative center for the surrounding district and province. It is situated in the Andean highlands of central Peru, the same mountainous interior that defines the Pasco region as a whole.
Beyond its status as the seat of Daniel Alcídes Carrión province, Yanahuanca is a small Andean settlement rather than a major urban center. Detailed information on its history, economy, and attractions is limited in readily available sources.
