Day Trip Details

Having picked you up at the designated time from your hotel in Iquique, we'll set off eastbound for Mamiña. This small town, located in Chile's Tarapacá region, is known for its invigorating hot springs.

On our way there, we'll cross a vast desert landscape of candelabra cacti at the foot of several reddish hills. When we arrive in Mamiña, we'll take a guided tour of the village. We'll walk through the streets, admire the liparite stone buildings, pause at the main square, and stop at the church built in 1632.

During our tour of Mamiña, we'll learn about its Quechua roots and centuries-old customs. After visiting the centre, we'll go to the Chinese mud hot springs for a relaxing dip to exfoliate your skin. Once done, we'll enjoy three dishes featuring local gastronomy at a nearby restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, we'll visit a cheese factory on the outskirts. Our tour will then take us to the Ipla Hot Springs, a thalassotherapy centre with open-air pools at 40 to 45 degrees, known for their therapeutic properties to relieve muscle and joint pain.

We'll then return to your hotel in Iquique, concluding the trip after a total of 10 hours.
