Ilo Day Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Tacna at 8 am and depart for our day trip to Ilo.

On route, we will pass through the Ite Wetlands, observing views of the lagoons where almost 150 species of birds, including flamingos, ducks, and seagulls, coexist.

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

Next, we will tour the historic centre of Ilo, visiting the Plaza de Armas and the Church of San Jerónimo, built in 1871.

The tour includes the iconic Port of Ilo, significant for its commercial and historic value, including the landing of Chilean troops during the War of the Pacific.

We will walk along the Venus Bridge towards the José Gálvez roundabout, a symbol of Ilo and a great viewpoint of the coastline.

Afterwards, we will stroll the boardwalk and pause for lunch at your convenience in one of the restaurants. Once you finish, we will walk along Ilo's beaches, including Puerto Inglés and Pozo de Lizas.

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