8) Tour to Caleta Vitor – Chaca Valley and Beach – 1 Day Excursion
65 km south of Arica, 1 hour & 20 min approx.
Lunch included (Aymara typical food or regular food)


We will pick you up at 9:00 a.m. and take Panamerican route Nº5. At approx. Km 20 we will stop to appreciate the famous sculptures: “Presencias Tutelares” (Protectors) by the well known Chilean artist and sculptor Juan Diaz Flemming. They are very impressive (8 to 9 m. high) made in honour to the Aymara culture and their ancestors. You will be able to appreciate the vast desert until we turn towards the lovely valley which takes us to Caleta Vitor which is a beautiful cove making a wonderful contrast with the desert and green valley. There are enormous cliffs and many different rock formations. In some areas there are millenary remains of archaeological sights. The colour of the ocean is beautiful with many shades of blue and green. It is excellent for trekking and walks. We leave at approx 5:00 p.m arriving to Arica at 6:10 p.m. approx.
