Review:

Arica is Chile’s northernmost beach town. Its perfect weather is ideal for watersports of all kinds, including swimming, wind surfing, surfing, scuba diving, sport fishing, and paragliding. Visitors who manage to pull themselves away from the beach will be rewarded with miles of hiking, mountain biking, trekking, wildlife and bird watching, and jeep racing. Visitors looking for a more cultural experience will appreciate the Chinchorro Mummy Museum, the Morro de Arica, the museum of history and culture, and the Archaeological Museum of San Miguel de Azapa. Lauca National Park features abundant wildlife, including vicuña, alpacas, and flamingos, the wetlands of the Cotacotani Lagoon, and views of snow-capped volcanoes. Map
