For a great overview of this amazing city, look no further!

Complete your tour with a visit to the Archaeological Museum of San Miguel to see the oldest mummies in the world at 5,000 years of age!

Departing towards Columbus Square (Plaza Colon) visit the San Marcos Cathedral, Casa de la Cultura, both built in the workshops of Gustavo Eiffel. Continue to the 'Morro' of Arica, a rocky outcrop overlooking the city for a panoramic view. Follow the old road up the Azapa Valley with views of the Geoglyphs on the hillsides.

On arrival at the Archaeological Museum of San Miguel, view the Chinchorro Mummies, the remains of ancient fisher folk who developed mummification in this area 5,000 years before Christ. The mummified bodies and the fragile remains of their culture were preserved in perfect condition due to the dryness of the desert sands.
