Morro de Arica

This national monument is an enormous rock, standing 110 meters high and paying tribute to the Chilean military victories in the 19th Century Pacific War.

Reviewed By B1959DXmargaretg - Chester, United Kingdom

The walk up the Morro isn't as far as it looks. The first bit is steep but the second bit is fine. We didn't go into the museum as it isn't our thing. There are lots of things to see without going into the museum though. There are lots of information plates which are bilingual. The Redeemer statue is fascinating as is the tomb for an unknown soldier and the flag! You must have your photo taken with the flag just to show how big it is! A good photo is when the small and large falf are blowing in the same direction. The views of the port and the city are well worth the walk - you will have earned a beer or a coffee when you are back down!

Parque Nacional Lauca

This national park is home to vicuna, alpaca, wild chinchilla and many other indigenous Chilean animal species.

Reviewed By MichalK2648

The park is beautiful indeed. The best part to our opinion is the southern Salar with the natural hot spring In the middle of nowhere, with no one around. The views are spectacular and we saw so many animals and birds on the way. To have a good view of the volcanos you need clear skies, so you’d want to arrive early. Logistics are not so bad- we rented a car with 7 seats in a local agency (Benmax rent a car) , took an extra 60 liters of gasoline, bought lots of water and food in the market, and we were set to go. The roads are not so bad (partly really good). There are many heavy trucks, so you need to be alert while driving. Sun is harsh and it is quite warm during the day and freezing cold after sun set. Take sunscreen. Highly recommended.

Museo Arqueologico San Miguel de Azapa

Reviewed By ArturoOpaso - Santiago, Chile

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

Lago Chungara

Reviewed By carlbenk - Carlisle, United States

Lake Chungará is the highlight of a visit to Lauca. The weather was good but not perfect on the day we went, which meant we had occasional and not continuous views of the summit of 21,000 ft Parinacota. There is also much bird life — flamingos, gulls, coots, etc — and I spent at least an hour capturing them with my telephoto lens.

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
