Ilo Day Trip

Ilo Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Tacna at 8 am for a day trip to Ilo. On the way, we will pass through the Ite Wetlands and view lagoons home to almost 150 species of birds, including flamingos, ducks, and seagulls.

Before reaching the city center, we will stop at the Chiribayo Museum in Ilo to learn about the pre-Columbian civilization from the central-southern Andes that existed between the 10th and 15th centuries. The visit will include mummies, textile samples, and ceramic objects.

Next, we will tour the historic center of Ilo, including the Plaza de Armas and the Church of San Jerónimo, built in 1871. We will then visit the Port of Ilo, significant for its commercial and historic importance, where Chilean troops landed during the War of the Pacific.

We will walk along the Venus Bridge towards the José Gálvez roundabout, a symbol of Ilo offering views of the coastline. Afterward, we will stroll along the boardwalk and have a lunch break at a restaurant of your choice. Post-lunch, we will explore Ilo's beaches, such as Puerto Inglés and Pozo de Lizas.

Finally, we will return to Tacna and drop you off at your hotel by 5 pm.
