Ticaco District is one of eight districts of the Tarata province in Peru. [1]

During the Chilean occupation of the area it was a rural border residence. The Ticalaco River served as the border between Peru and Chile. During these years, Chile attempted to occupy the territory on several occasions, but failed due to the organized defense of the local residents. [2]
