Overview

Parque Perú is a large-scale exhibition and events complex located on the outskirts of Tacna, serving as the primary venue for the Feritac (Feria Internacional de Tacna). The site encompasses extensive open-air grounds, multipurpose halls, and facilities designed for large public gatherings, livestock exhibitions, and commercial trade shows. It functions as the city's main hub for major annual cultural and economic festivities. The infrastructure includes permanent exhibition pavilions and integrated stage areas for live performances. As a venue focused on large-scale events, the facility remains relatively quiet during periods without scheduled trade fairs or public exhibitions. The grounds are designed to accommodate high-capacity visitor traffic during peak regional festivals.
