Arica, Chile


Known as the “City of Eternal Spring” for its verdant valleys and sublime climate, Arica is a lush city amid the famed Atacama Desert. Take in breathtaking views from atop Morro de Arica, the iconic hill that rises steeply from the sea and was once the main fort during the War of the Pacific in the 19th century. Visit the San Miguel de Azapa Archeological Museum to discover the Inca and Tiawanankus influence on Arica’s native culture, and to learn about the local mummies – older than those found in Egypt.
