ARICA TRAVEL
The city of eternal spring, Arica has everything to offer both the beach-lover and the culturally enthusiast traveler. With a history going back 10 thousand years, archeologists have found that Arica was the center of a number of pre-Colombian cultures. In addition to this rich and exciting history, Arica is known for its long and pleasant beaches and has the perfect atmosphere for relaxing away an afternoon.
Arica is the gateway to Lauca National Park, one of South America’s true gems, with stunning snow-capped peaks over 19,000 ft and a plethora of wildlife including vicuñas and viscachas. Lauca is home to one of the largest lakes in the world, Lago Chungara. Standing in this remote wilderness offers new definitions of space and beauty.
“Arica really is a magical place where in one weekend you can lounge on a perfect beach under temperate skies and the next day track down wildlife, looking down at the clouds huddled in the valley, high in the glacier ridden Andes Mountains.”
With Peru just to the north and Bolivia to the east, Arica is a great jumping off point to your next South American destination.
DONT JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Thanks for putting together a great itinerary. I had a fabulous time. Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago de Chile each were exciting and interesting in their own way and greatly exceeded my expectations!.

We are back in Malta! We would like to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable vacation. Considering the many countries (Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil) we visited, and the 14 flights we took, all went well.
Oliver, Malta.
Our trip was incredibly successful in three different countries: Chile, Brazil and Peru. And in every instance, the coordination of details and execution were impeccably accurate regardless of the country visited. Success at every stage was achieved regardless of location, the weather, the country and/or the time of day or night we traveled and were sight-seeing.
