Tarata, Provincial capital in Tacna Region, Peru
The province spans across 2,819 square kilometers of varied terrain, from mountain ranges to valleys, within the southern region of Peru.
The area emerged as a significant settlement in 1611 with the construction of San Benedicto Abad temple, leading to its formal establishment in 1741.
The population maintains both Spanish and Aymara languages, reflecting the strong presence of indigenous communities throughout the eight districts.
The province contains eight administrative districts, including Chucatamani, Estique, Estique-Pampa, Sitajara, Susapaya, Tarata, Tarucachi, and Ticaco.
The territory changed hands between Peru and Chile from 1891 to 1925, when U.S. President Calvin Coolidge mediated its return to Peru.
