Arica

A coastal city famed for its perpetually sunny weather, rich cultural history, and as a hub for both beach tourism and trade in its country.

Tips from the community

Within the perimeter of the city of Arica, there are three sites that stand testament to an ancient culture and cemeteries full of both artificially mummified bodies and those preserved through natural causes. One of the oldest sites of mummification, these sites also feature impeccable sculptures, overlooking the endless South Pacific Ocean ahead.
