Where does our name come from? The Talara region is one of the oldest energy centers in the world, dating back to 1871. It is located in the northwest coastal region of Peru.  There, at the farthest point west in South America, the Punta Talara lighthouse shines into the pacific ocean as a beacon for fleets of incoming fishing boats.
