General Lagos Villages Tour

We will pick you up at 6 am from your hotel in Putre and head to the northern tip of General Lagos. After passing through customs controls, we will arrive at the Tripartite Landmark, a market that operates every Sunday selling products from the three nations.

We will browse the vendors’ stalls and learn about the goods traded in the Andean Altiplano. After returning to Chile, our tour continues to the town of Visviri, where we will learn about the railway history of the train route between Arica and La Paz. Next, we will visit the village of Cosapilla, known for its iconic church, and break for a picnic lunch with sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolates, and juices.

We will conclude by visiting Caquena to try to spot llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and other Andean wildlife. After the tour, we will return you to your hotel in Putre, with drop-off between 12 pm and 2 pm.
