Tacna Province

The province of Tacna is one of the four that make up the department of Tacna in southern Peru.

It borders to the north with the province of Jorge Basadre, to the east with the province of Tarata, to the south with the Region of Arica and Parinacota in Chile and, to the west, with the Pacific Ocean.
