In-depth Tacna Tour
Your day begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Tacna at 9 am, embarking on a comprehensive journey that covers the key events in Peru's history.
Initially, the focus will be on the timeline surrounding the Tacna conflict, as we navigate through pivotal locations: the Municipal Theater, which served as a field hospital during the war; the Casa de la Jurídica, where Chile's surrender of the city to Peru was formalized; and the residence of the independence figure Francisco Antonio de Zela.
Our next destination is Campo de la Alianza, the battleground where Peruvian and Chilean forces clashed for dominion over the city. Here, we will explore the Museum of Arms, showcasing various items utilized in the conflict, alongside the cemetery.
Following this, a scenic tour will take you past several of Tacna's main landmarks, including the cathedral, the fountain of the Greek Gods, and the Parabolic Arch, which stands as a tribute to the heroes of the War of the Pacific.
During the panoramic journey, we will also pass by Bolognesi Avenue, explore the Botanical Garden, and visit the bustling commercial district. Subsequently, we will head to the rural areas of Tacna for a delightful pisco distillery tasting.
Thereafter, we'll make a stop at a local family ranch to enjoy a delicious pastel de choclo (corn pie). Refreshed by this snack, we will proceed to the Miculla petroglyphs in an effort to interpret these mysterious zoomorphic carvings.
After exploring the petroglyphs, we will traverse the renowned suspension bridge of Miculla to reach the thermal baths of Calientes, where you can take a relaxing dip in the enchanting natural pools.
The tour concludes with your drop-off back at your hotel at 5 pm.
