 Geography:

This department is located down the Titicaca
Plateau, and has a diverse geography, including volcanoes, deserts and mountainous zones,
from which arise the rivers that go over the punas and the plateaus, thus givin shape the
hydrographical system of this zone. By the west is the Pacific Ocean, the La Yarada
beaches, the Ite Pampas, and settled down as a prisoner, the Tacna Valley. From the west
side of Tacora arise the waters of the Caplina River, which goes through the city of
Tacna.
It has a small extent, but has a great mining and agrarian
potential. It has diverse climates and a varied production. The Heroic City of Tacna is a
symbol of love, devotion to our Country and national loyalty.
