Arica private tours

Nicknamed "the city of eternal spring," this port city in northern Chile is easy to fall in love with. The beaches are beautiful, and the ocean waves attract plenty of surfers, bringing an 'easy living' vibe to Arica's streets…and keeping the nightspots hopping. Book a private Arica tour and explore this Chilean city with a friendly local guide. The Spanish developed Arica as a port to ship the silver they mined in Bolivia back to Europe. After the Spanish left in 1820, Arica became part of Peru, until Chile seized it during the War of the Pacific in 1880. The massive Morro de Arica dominates the city, and the fortifications on top are a popular tourist attraction. It's a steep hike up, so have your guide drive you to the summit for as a bird's eye view of the coastline. Arica's mild climate draws unique bird species, which draws flocks of birdwatchers. Ornithologists should arrange a private tour of the best places to spot a Peruvian Thick Knee or a Slender Billed Finch.
