Pisagua Tour

The War of the Pacific cannot be understood without an excursion to the coastal town of Pisagua, where you'll learn about the episodes that marked one of the main war conflicts in South America in the 19th century.

Pisagua Tour

After picking you up at your hotel in Arica between 8 am and 9 am, we'll head south towards Pisagua. This town in the Chilean region of Tarapacá was a significant site of the War of the Pacific, which involved Chile, Peru, and Bolivia in the late 19th century.

We will discuss the Battle of Dolores, known as The Battle of San Francisco, a critical conflict during the Tarapacá campaign. The tour includes a visit to the Pisagua cemetery, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Next, we'll view the monument dedicated to the landing and battle of Pisagua and explore Pisagua's history, including large wooden buildings from that era.

Lunch will be at a local restaurant, featuring various dishes from the local cuisine. Afterward, we will review Pisagua's history as a 20th-century detention center, now a symbol for Human Rights.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Arica by 7 pm.
