Overview

On this three-day adventure, you'll explore Arica, known as the City of Eternal Spring, and its surroundings.

Anyone who loves the sun on their skin, warm water, sandy beaches, and romantic sunsets will not want to leave Arica. The port city is important for commercial transit and for cultivating fruits, vegetables, and especially olives.

On this Arica tour, you'll learn about the country’s history, archaeology, and indigenous cultures. You'll spend a day in the Lauca National Park with its diverse fauna and flora, the emerald green Cotacotani Lagoon and Chungara Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world located at an altitude of 4,517 metres.
