Great Museum clearly shows in a very scholar way about the history of the Chinchorro culture with mummies older than the famous Egyptian ones. We drove to the museum and spend the rest of the day in The Valley , Lots to see

Museo Momias Chinchorro

Reviewed By KatrienS955 - Ghent, Belgium

This is the part of the museum that displays the tools used in mummification, as well as the mummies themselves and the clothes and attributes they wore. Most mummies did not come with expensive jewellery or clothes, but were common people and children. The tools and clothes are well displayed, as well as some parts of the mummies and mummies of small children en fetuses. The other mummies are in 1 large room and are seen through 1 window

Museo De Sitio Colon 10

Reviewed By belliker - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Upon excavating the grounds for a new hotel, the undertakers stumbled on innumerable skeletons, and the University of Taracapa, guardians and caretakers of the Chinchorro mummies was able to stop construction and purchase the site. The skeletal remains have been left to rest in their original place and position. A glass floor allows visitors a respectful observation of this several thousand year old burial place in Northern Chile. Closed on Mondays, so plan your visit to Arica accordingly.

Catedral de San Marcos

Assembled in the 1870's to replace the main church lost to the 1868 earthquake, this national monument was the city's first building constructed of steel and cast iron, with only its door made from wood.

Reviewed By d1deleonrn - Brunswick, United States

If you go to Arica, you must go here. If you can go during the day AND night. The contrast is amazing. It's a cast iron church, and resonates like you think it would. Home to some birds, and amazing frescoes (12 stations are beautiful). Just beautiful. If you take pictures, drop a coin or two in the box (just my opinion)
