about Tacna

Tacna is a city located in southern Peru, and is only about 35 kilometers from Chile’s border, and it is approximately 562 meters above sea level. Tacna has a population of 170,000. The city is located in the Atacama Desert near the Pacific Ocean. Tacna is the main area for business in southern Peru. Tacna has many monuments, including the arch of the Alto de la Alianza, which shows the significance of this town. In 1828, President La Mar declared Tacna as the "Heroic City" when Peru obtained its independence. Citizens from Tacna are quite patriotic, and in the War of the Pacific in 1879 they decided to fight for the land back and be part of Peru. Other monuments include a neo-Renaissance Cathedral, the Alameda Bolognesi Walkway and the caves of Toquepala, where archaeologists have found some of the oldest human remains in Peru. Since it is part of a duty free zone, Tacna has one of the largest artifact markets in the world, with things from Japan to China, and also traditional Peruvian handicrafts. In September they have the festival of the Senor de Locumba, and it draws thousands of faithful people from all over the world.
