1-day tour to Lago Chungará
29 mayo 2005
This is the most popular tour in town, in Bolognesi Street there are lots of small travel agencies devoted mainly to those tours. The price varies between US$ 26 to US$ 36 and includes bus or minibus at your hotel (depending on qty of tourists), light breakfast, lunch and guide (spanish only). It departs usually at 7:30 AM and includes Lluta Valley, Poconchile church, big cactus area, Pucara of Copaquilla (an old Inca fortress in the cliff), Zapahuira (breakfast with coca tea), guanacos area, town of Putre, Vicuñas area, Las cuevas, Chucuyo, Parinacota and Lago Chungara. They are back in Arica at 8PM est. It is a very stressful trip and avoid it if you have some health problems because you climb to 4.600 m above sea level and return to sea level in the same day.
Diving and riding horses
