Cariamanga, officially San Pedro Mártir de Cariamanga is a town in southern Ecuador and the seat of Calvas Canton in Loja Province. The urban parish occupies a compact plateau beneath the twin-peaked Cerro Ahuaca and serves as a commercial hub between Loja and the Peru border at Macará.
== Etymology == Local historiography records the colonial style San Pedro Mártir de Cariamanga. Municipal tradition also attributes the toponym Cariamanga to Quichua curi (gold) and manga (pot), a folk etymology not universally accepted by linguists.
