It is located in the easternmost area of the province and is one of the few districts left that is not already completely urbanized.

It borders on the east with the Huarochirí Province in the Lima Region, to the south and west with the Pachacámac District, to the north with the Ate and Chaclacayo districts.

The main access route is a highway emanating from La Molina District.

In this sense, the valley in general and Cienguilla, in particular, still have wild areas, nature, and many more attractive landscapes.

Cieneguilla is the headquarters of Posada de Amor, a Christian children's home.
