Bagua Grande is a town in the Amazonas region in northern Peru, the capital of Utcubamba Province and of Bagua Grande District. It has an estimated 42,396 inhabitants, having changed from a rural to an urban area after experiencing much immigration in the 1960s, and its people call it Corazon de Amazonas, the Heart of Amazonas. The urban area sits on a hillside by the Utcubamba River, now merged with Cajaruro District, and is very warm, fertile and rainy for most of the year. The economy is based on trade and agricultural production, especially very high quality rice, corn and coffee, with active trade with the cities of Chiclayo and Jaen and with the neighbouring department of San Martin, plus minor industries such as rice mills and the bottling of carbonated water.
