On November 16, 1532, while the natives were in a celebration in Cajamarca, the Spanish Pizarro took the Inca Atahualpa prisoner by surprise, causing a great consternation between the natives and conditioning the future course of the fight.
Peru is divided in 24 departments and one constitutional province.
When the Spanish arrived, they divided Peru (because of political reasons) into three main regions: the Coastal region, which is bounded by the Pacific Ocean; the Highlands, that is located in the Andean Heights, and the Jungle, which is located on the Amazonian Jungle.

Expansion of the Toquepala mine was completed in 2001, and included identification of a massive sulfide ore deposit, increasing the mine's proven and probable reserves to 770 million tons at a grade of 0.74% copper and 0.08% molybdenum and 1,931 million tons of leachable ("lixiviable") reserves at a grade of0.20%.
The project included the Antamina open pit and concentrator, a 302 km slurry pipeline, port facilities in Huarmey, and a new access road, power line, and town site; the new mine had a capacity of 275,000 tons per year; the concentrator, 70,000 tons per day.

Between 1987 and 1994, farmers in several hundred communities in the Peruvian department Cajamarca c ontributed their knowledge, most of which had existed only as oral tradition and had never been published.
The initiative to assemble the encyclopedia was taken by La Red de Bibliotecas Rurales de Cajamarca (the network of rural libraries of Cajamarca).
While working on the encyclopedia, the network of libraries grew so that now it is present in all 13 provinces of the Cajamarca, linking 600 communities.

In the Plaza de Armas of Cajamarca, the Inca, dressed in crystals, is asking the white bearded men what gives them the right to kill his children.
Booklets, magazine and newspaper abstracts and a variety of novels start to pass from hand to hand and desire overpowers desire: under each hat, the arrogance that used to be incubated by the written word is defeated.

Once again, between 1879 and 1883, Peru and Bolivia made an alliance and fought against Chile in the War of the Pacific.
After the war (and with the loss of the department of Tarapacá and the province of Arica), political stability was achieved, during the early years of the 1900s; until Augusto Leguía and his dictatorship arrived.
It is important to mention that there are also people of partly Italian descent around Ica, Pisco, Moquegua and Tacna since many immigrants of that origin came during the republic to farm vineyards in the southern coast.
