After passing through customs controls, we'll arrive at the Tripartite Landmark, where the borders of Chile, Bolivia, and Peru meet. Every Sunday, a fair market is held here featuring products from these three countries.

We'll browse the vendor stalls and learn about the goods traded in the Andean Altiplano. Afterward, we'll go through border control again and return to Chilean territory to continue our tour of General Lagos.

The next stop will be in the town of Visviri, where we'll explore the railway history of the train that used to connect Arica and La Paz. Then, we'll visit the village of Cosapilla, known for its iconic church, where we'll enjoy a picnic lunch with sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolates, and juices.

To conclude our tour, we'll visit Caquena to spot local Andean animals such as llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas. We'll return you to your hotel in Putre by 12 pm to 2 pm.
