Capital: Nueva Loja (also called Lago Agrio).
Key features: Borders Colombia to the north.
Known for oil extraction (highly developed since the 1970s).
Stunning Amazonian scenery, including the famous Cuyabeno Reserve (lagoons, biodiversity, wildlife such as dolphins and anacondas).
Indigenous communities (including Cofán and Siona).
In short: a remote, jungle-rich border province that relies heavily on petroleum for its economy, but is also a top destination for ecotourism and nature.
