Magdalena is located in the south of the Chachapoyas Province, in the high part of the inter-Andean valley of the river Utcubamba. In the north the district borders with the District of San Isidro of Maino (Chachapoyas) and the District of Levanto (Chachapoyas), in the east with the Rodríguez de Mendoza Province, in the south with the District of The Jalca (Chachapoyas), in the southwest with the District of Saint John of Lopecancha and in the west with the District of Tingo.
As with many Peruvians, popular Magdalenan dishes are the cuy, eaten alongside potatoes, the Sancocho and also the Locro.[2]
