Cajamarca (Wechua: Kashamarka; Martino: Cajamarca) is a city in the Wechua Nation, a region of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. It lies in the highlands of the eastern Wechua Nation and is the eastern terminus of the Keltian Bulk Line, which reaches the city through the Cajamarca Tunnel. It is the birthplace of Premier José Manuel Montero.
Geography
Cajamarca sits in a highland basin in the eastern ranges of the Wechua Nation. The surrounding country is mountainous, and the city's rail connections to the rest of the Federation run west through the Cajamarca Tunnel toward Parap, the regional capital. Its elevation and terrain shape both its climate and the engineering of the line that serves it.
Economy and transport
The city is a highland rail hub and a regional center for the eastern Wechua Nation. As the terminus of the Keltian Bulk Line, it handles freight moving between the highlands and the western cities of the Federation, with the Cajamarca Tunnel carrying the line through the ranges immediately west of the city. Highland agriculture and the rail trade are the principal local employers.
