Fly to Arica

Fly to Arica and enjoy a tropical getaway that's off the beaten path. The beautiful beaches of this Chilean city make it a delightful destination for surfers, but stunning monuments like El Moro, nearby parks and lovely shopping and nightlife opportunities make it worth visiting for travelers of all stripes.

Attractions

Arica offers a plethora of beaches for multiple tastes. Isla Alacran and Las Machas provide intimidating waves for surfers to show off their moves, while El Laucho and La Lisera are calmer and better suited for travelers who are just looking to relax.

Head to the nearby village of Poblado Artesanal, a shopping mecca that is lined with murals. Visitors will find pottery, crafts and a multitude of other handmade goods for sale.
