The Huancabamba Depression is an east–west depression through the Andes Mountains of northern Peru.

The Western Cordillera has its lowest point, Script error: No such module "convert"., at the Paso de Porculla.
The Huancabamba Depression is home to the Marañón dry forests, which form both a biogeographic connection between the lowland forests of the Pacific coast and the Amazon basin, and a biogeographic barrier between the Northern Andes and the Central Andes.[1]
