Crowned with mountains that surpass 6,000 meters, the altiplano is a can’t-miss area. Here, we will visit Lluta, Copaquilla, the small town of Parinacota and its baroque-Andean-style church, the Chungara Lake, and the Lauca National Park. The park is a Biosphere Reserve thanks to its stretching landscapes and unique native flora and fauna. Afterward, we will retune to Arica.

Today, we will have a 6-hour excursion to the Lluta and Azapa Valleys. These unique areas are rich in archaeological remains and cultural history.

There, we will visit the Geoglyphs and Petroglyphs along with the pre-Colombian food storage spaces, the on-site museum, the wetlands of Lluta and the San Miguel de Azapa Museum. Inside the museum, we will find the exposition of the Chinchorro mummies. These are the oldest mommies in the world!

El Altiplano es una gran planicie entre dos cordones de montañas que corre por cuatro países: Bolivia, Chile, Perú y Argentina. Los materiales expulsados por estos volcanes rellenaron la superficie de la cordillera, formando las planicies que han dado a este sector el nombre de altiplano.
