Welcome to Arica, the 'City of the Everlasting Spring' !

Location: 18º south latitude, 70º west longitude
Arica is the northernmost city; an oasis in the Atacama Desert, and significant Chilean port. 2700 miles (4.300 km) from Punta Arenas and 12 miles (19 km) from the border with Peru. Situated between two fertile valleys: Lluta and Azapa valleys fringed by sand dunes.


Andean Duncan Tours is based in the coastal city of Arica in the first region of Tarapaca.
The principal aim of our travel agency is to promote the riches of this region: its history, geography and archaeology together with the fascinating flora and fauna. We desire to highlight the natural attractions of the area; the pristine beaches and excellent climate together with the Andean culture that has developed over the past 10.000 years in the altiplano (highlands), along the coast and in the sierra and valleys. Because of its location on the border of both Peru and Bolivia, this region is an open door to many other cultures which continue to enrich its multiethnic society.

We are a family business whose aim is to satisfy the needs and interests of the tourists and travellers who visit these latitudes. Our motto can be summed up in this indigenous phrase: “The person who comes is another me, so feel at home”.
Andean Duncan Tours is particularly concerned for the development of sustainable eco-tourism, ethnical-tourism and fair trade.

We are affiliated to Sernatur, the official Government Tourist Office and also to the Tourist Chamber of Arica. We have been authorized by the Government’s Ministry of Transport & Telecommunications to work as Private Transport for Tourism, according to the supreme decree Nº 80, art. 10 dated August 2004.

We offer Bilingual Guides (Español, English, Français, Deutsch), Tailor-made tours, Airport Transfer and Private Transportation.
