The Tarapacá Region is located in northern Chile, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atacama Desert to the east. It is known for its diverse landscapes, including coastal areas, valleys, and high-altitude mountains. The region's capital is Iquique, a city famous for its beaches and historical significance during the Saltpeter Era. Economically, the Tarapacá Region relies heavily on mining, particularly the extraction of copper and lithium. Agriculture also plays a role, with crops like grapes and olives being cultivated in the fertile valleys. The region is rich in cultural heritage, influenced by both Indigenous and Spanish traditions.
