Tarata & Ticaco Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Tacna at 8 am and travel by bus to the Tarata province. After an hour's journey, we will ascend to 3500 metres (11500 ft) above sea level to visit the Apacheta lookout, where we will observe the inter Andean valleys, Yucatamani volcanoes, Tutupaca, and the Cordillera del Barroso mountain range.

At the viewpoint, a typical offering ceremony to the Earth, honoring ancestral traditions, will be conducted.

We will then visit the Tarucachi colonial church, notable for its colonial mestizo style decoration. Following this, we will proceed to Tarata to walk to the main square and church, and continue to the Santa Maria Inca trail, which offers views of beautiful scenery and the Qala Qala caves, a sacred site for the locals.

Subsequently, we will visit the Titaco thermal baths, where you can enjoy the baths at your leisure in the relaxing natural environment. Afterward, we will have lunch at a local restaurant and return to Tacna, dropping you off at your hotel by 5 pm.
