Tacna, Regional capital in southern Peru.
Situated 35 kilometers north of the Chilean border, Tacna extends across the Caplina River valley at an elevation of 552 meters above sea level.
The city endured Chilean administration from 1883 to 1929 following the War of the Pacific until its return to Peru through the Treaty of Lima.
The Semana de Tacna festival spans from August 25 to 30, filling streets with national flags to commemorate the city's reincorporation into Peru.
The Crnl. FAP. Carlos Ciriani Santa Rosa International Airport connects Tacna with regional destinations while the city maintains strong trade relations with Chile.
The valley contains fertile agricultural zones near the mountains, creating a contrast with the surrounding desert environment that receives minimal rainfall.
