Information about the city Ilo

Ilo is a port city in southern Peru, with some 67,000 inhabitants. It is the second largest city in the Moquegua Region and capital of the Ilo Province.

The Peruvian government has granted a 99-year lease to the government of landlocked Bolivia to develop a port facility, in effect allowing Bolivia to claim to be a "Pacific Ocean nation".[4] Bolivia lost an earlier claim to a portion of Pacific coast after going to war with Chile in the 19th century. A new railway through Bolivia to Brazil is also proposed.

Temperatures in Ilo range between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius year round. Rain is almost non-existent, as Ilo is located north of the Atacama Desert, one of the driest coastal deserts in the world.

Ilo is the southernmost of the 3 ports which comprise the Peruvian termini of the Interoceanic Highway which is being constructed to link the state of Acre, in the Amazon Basin in Brazil, across the Andes to the Pacific Ocean.
