Tacna Cathedral is a stunning neo-renaissance edifice that was constructed in 1875 under the supervision of Gustave Eiffel, the renowned architect who designed the Eiffel Tower. Although it may not be as grandiose as some other cathedrals in Europe, it boasts an exquisite front facade that is particularly striking when viewed at night.
Beautiful Cathedral. Amazing plaza around it. Great tourist destination for some history and great photos.

This church has history from decades, is made of volcanic rocks, so looks old.
There are restaurants near, so eat and have time to look everything there is not a problem, hope you could enjoy your trip

The Mercado Central is a bustling shopping hub that houses various vendors offering fresh fruit, meat and locally made handicrafts. In addition to this, it boasts of popular restaurants that serve delicious breakfast to visitors. The market is well-maintained and clean making it a preferred choice for shoppers who always buy here. One can also find quality Olive oil at the renowned vendor "Comercial Blanquita" G2.
This market is clean ... Neat , I would definitely buy here ALWAYS!

Its a place where we can experience local food at a fraction of the price compared to tourist restaurants. Very competitive on that matter because there's many Chileans also working there. You can compare it to a huge grocery store and bargain store all in one. Fruits and vegetables are very cheap and they bring them in large quantities, what's favorable to tourists looking for local fruits or veggies because they sell it buy the kilo. I myself got 5 mangoes for a dollar (3.80 soles) and broccoli for 50 cents (about a pound) - that's just a small example. Its not really a touristic place, its a local community commercial center. Still, great to find amazing bargains!

A traditional place, recently refurbished, with many different things, starting for small convenience stores, with local products, milk, chocolates and any sort of thing for cooking or cleaning. LOL.
In the second floor you cand find a nice display of natural juice makers, who tempt you with fresh fruit slices for free like mangoes and melons. It is very cheap and juices are awesome because of the quality of the organic local fruits, tasty and aromatic. And for less than a dollar you can drink the WHOLE BLENDER. Yes, the whole blender.
There's a hidden sublevel where you can buy alcohol and cigarrettes from all around the world for very good prices (JW black for $40 bottle) and also there's nice cheap place to get a manicure or pedicure with nail design for less than $3 dollars.
In the surroundings you can find pirate buses to Arica, most of them, chilean. Good option to avoid crowded buses at the international station.
Tacna Parabolic Arch is a popular tourist attraction located in the city of Tacna, Peru. The arch's distinctive design and historical significance make it a must-see for visitors to the region. This unique structure was built in 1925 by the Italian architect Gustave Eiffel, who also designed the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The Alto de la Alianza open air museum is a must-see destination with significant historical value. Visitors should avoid using GPS or Google Maps' shortcut option, as it may lead to an unpaved road up a narrow mountain path. The monument itself is beautiful and provides valuable insight into the Battle of Alto de la Alianza. To enter the museum, visitors must bring their passport or ID number.
A must see place to visit. A great place with history that reminds us of our past.
Daniel khan — Google review
If you are using a GPS or Google Maps, don't take the shortcut option! It takes you to an unpaved road up a narrow path along the mountain to someone's property (I assume). As for the monument itself: very beautiful and leared a lot about the battle of Alto de la Alianza. Make sure you have your passport or ID with you if you don't have the number memorized. You need the number to enter the museum.

The Bosque Municipal de Tacna in Peru is a park that has limited space for animals, but it is hoped that the local government will provide more support for the project. It is not an accessible location for those with mobility or wheelchair disabilities, but it provides affordable admission and parking facilities. Visitors are advised to arrive early as the entrance closes at 3pm.

Bab-ul-Islam Mosque is a welcoming place for all visitors to experience the beauty of Islam. The community of brothers from Pakistan are known for their warmth and hospitality towards all who come to pray. Despite some negative perceptions of Muslims, the mosque encourages everyone to visit and learn about Islamic practices. It's important not to be misled by misconceptions or negative opinions, as Bab-ul-Islam Mosque is a peaceful and beautiful place where visitors can pray five times a day.
I've finally visited this Mosque, if any one trying to defame Islam by saying that is not a welcoming place is a fool, the brothers from Pakistan are very hard warming and welcoming people, we came in The Path of Allah over 25 brothers from Lima along the brothers from France they have a Sheik here from Yemen that was very happy to see us, some bad apples that claim to be Muslim sometimes act, like non Muslims maybe the guardian of the mosque didn't like that person that came for a reason or maybe 🤔 he was a Fed for all we know either way you're more than welcome 🤗 to come to visit the house of Allah don't let the Shaytan scare you or misguide you by tanking negative this is a beautiful Mosque and very beautiful people this is a Mosque not a museum we pray five times a day here.

This is indeed a beautiful mosque. Yet, the Pakistanian community there is known for not being friendly. I traveled to Tacna specially to visit the masjid and join them for Friday prayer. So I was very excited and went a little bit early and wanted to know about the Mosque and Muslim community there. The keeper (who actually didn't seem to be Pakistani) acted as if I was a CIA spy; what is he, an idiot?! The rest of the community were not that welcoming and friendly. I heard from the taxi driver and one other person that they are known for not being friendly and not being nice. They apparently made their money out of selling used cars. So, they don't have a good reputation among the general public. It would have been better to have a ugly Mosque and a beautiful community than a beautiful Mosque but an ugly community!

Mall July 28 offers a diverse selection of designer imitations at surprisingly good prices. However, it is advisable not to purchase any counterfeit items as it may cause trouble with customs officials upon leaving Chile. The highlight of the visit is the beautiful animal-shaped boj trees situated in the park across from the mall, which are perfect for photo opportunities. In addition to clothing and accessories, there is also a variety of other products available for purchase.
Very great shopping centre! Most cheap prices ever!
The Tacna Historical Museum offers a free and public service with friendly customer service. Visitors can explore a diverse range of exhibits and there is even a special area dedicated to children. Private transportation is recommended as there are ample parking spaces available at the facility.

The museum "Museo de Sitio Las Peañas" needs to improve its visibility and increase the number of exhibition halls. There is a need for more extensive dissemination of information about the museum to attract visitors. The absence of proper promotion and advertisement is affecting the visitor footfall, leading to low recognition despite its cultural value. Additionally, expanding the exhibition space would allow for more artifacts and displays to be showcased, which could enhance the overall visitor experience.
(Translated by Google) It is a museum that contains many mysteries, I was fascinated by so much history that is displayed in showcases with their respective concepts and descriptions about what happened there, such as those who fell in wars and the former inhabitants of the town.

(Translated by Google) A place rarely visited by the common tourist, in this museum on the site you can see the influence of different highland cultures in the area such as the Tiwanaku, the tombs are something out of the ordinary, the museum is clean and orderly and has all the basic services as well as access for people with reduced mobility, without a doubt an unmissable walk if you are in the city, despite being close to the prison the place is extremely quiet.
