Day Trips

Trips to Parinacota and Parco National Lauca

If you are in Arica and have some spare time you shouldn't miss a trip to the breathtaking Andes. You can book a daytrip to the mountains but it's better to spend some more time. Because the way up from sea level to 4000 m altitude within 3 hours is hard to take. There are a few tour opeators who take you up to Parinacota, a typical, calm village in the rough and windy border area to bolivia. You will see lots of llamas, vicunas and alpacas. Its fabulous for taking wonderful pictures of vulcano Parinacota and Lake Chungara. A short drive to Salar Surire will bring you the wonderful oppurtunity for taking a bath in a natural hottub with 44°C on 4000M above sea level, don't miss that!
