In a nutshell
nothing to see but nice to stay
eternaltravellerUK Says: Hey guys,I must say that I had a really great time at the Academia de Artes y Lenguas where they have Spanish courses... It wasn't too expensive and the classes were one-to-one. The teachers are experienced and I learnt a lot in my time there. I would highly recommend it!!I...
swesn Says: Parque Nacional Lauca is one of the most spectacular and dramatic national parks in Chile. A visit from Arica basically takes one from sea-level to 4500+m in one day. All tour vans were required to carry oxygen masks to resuscitate any dying tourists. But don't worry, as on...
sbotelhoj Says: By my short experience of one night there, you can, in the morning, go to the beach, go to the fancy avenues and go to the shopping ones.In the afternoon just stay about drinking a jug of beer in some fancy avenue.In the evening, however, there are cassinos to visit.

APaulo Says: On the way up to Atacama there are a kind of restaurants by the road. Make a stop and drink a Coca(in) tea. It's harmless and it will help you out (?) with altitude. If instead of Lamas you start seeing girafas...probably you had too much tea....
APaulo Says: There is a lot of animals in Atacama.Lama is one of them. Some of them are behave almost like a pet. They come to you and eat gently from your hand. Don't forget of to take with you some bread from the hotel / supermarket before you go to the Atacama.
APaulo Says: For most europeans that have been in Brazil may take for sure that because of the latitud the sea water temperature it's similar. Big mistake. The beach at Arica it's long, in some of them you may find very good surf conditions, but the water is cold in spite of the hot air...
Maracuya: Seafood yes, Spectacular No!
BorderHopper Says: We had heard about this so called fancy seafood restaurant in a Lonely Planet guidebook and since we were craving some good seafood after earlier inland travels throughout South America we figured this would be a good bet. It turns out that it was pretty good....but not...
Mc Donalds: ^Perro caliente com palta^ - hot dog with avocado
sbotelhoj Says: I just find interesting that they at avocado with salty food while in Brazil, we just mix it with sugar
chancay Says: A nice place, very clean, small tables, relaxed ambience. FISH, SEAFRUITS!! endless!! The fish soup I had first was already enough at all, but I had already ordered a second dish, another fish menue and that was such a big plate full....I almost fainted of a proteine shock...
Casino and...maybe a disco on the south side
APaulo Says: There is a Casino near the El Paso hotel. A very modest Casino. Casual clothes. Don't expect too much.Other thing that you may doo is to walk along the cafes , get an icecream and....go to a disco on the other side of the Morro ( the big sand hill )... As you please
Arica's Casino: Viva Las Vegas!
aero198 Says: It's not a spectacular casino, but it's fun,cheap, and you only need casual attire! Casual attireNo Tie required!
tombrad Says: Daily trips, morning and nigth. Check "buses" section in my blog on Arica http://infoarica.blogspot.com
kiwigal_1 Says: If you want to go from Arica to Tacna in Peru the most convenient way is to take a colectivo taxi. We were able to negotiate one from the airport without having to go into town. All you need is four passengers who are wanting to cross over and away you go. It cost us 5000...
Feria Internacional Maximo Lira: Peruvian Markets!
aero198 Says: It's a street market, where you can buy beautiful handcraft, an typical things, really cheap. It's cheap.
miki202 Says: Geotour Tourism in Arica operates is an amateour company and their license (if they have one) should be revoked. Stay away from this company, they'll rip you off.
APaulo Says: Chile- Peru border services are a litle bit slow. The officers check everything. Do not try to traffic anything at all. Special do not try to "jump" from one country to the other. Chile and Peru had several wars during the last century. Lots of places are full of land mines.
APaulo Says: It's a very peacefull place. No where to run...just desert and the Pacific Ocean.
I_clavdivs Says: We went to the Altiplano. It was possibly the best experience I have ever had, I would recommend it to anyone who has the chance. The wildlife is amazing - vicunas and llamas are everywhere, and the scenery is unique. The locals are very friendly and helpful. The toilets in...
Putre and Parque Nacional Lauca
darthmilmo Says: From Arica, I took a bus to Putre, which lies close to the Parque Nacional Lauca. It was an amazing service, I got lunch and all :). Putre is a nice place to relax, but other then that there is not much to do around here. The next day I hiked a few hours around Putre. After...
