Tarata & Ticaco Day Trip

At 8 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Tacna and board a bus to Tarata province. After an hour journey, we'll ascend up to 3500 metres (11500 ft) above sea level to visit the Apacheta lookout. Here we'll discover the landscape of the inter Andean valleys, Yucatamani volcanoes, Tutupaca, and the Cordillera del Barroso mountain range.

At the viewpoint, we will experience a typical ceremony of offering to the Earth, respecting the traditions of the ancestors of these lands.

Next, we will visit Tarucachi, a colonial church similar to the one in Tarata, showcasing colonial mestizo style decoration with natural dyes.

Afterward, the tour will arrive in Tarata, where we will walk to the main square and church. We will carry on to the Santa Maria Inca trail, admiring Tarata's scenery and the Qala Qala caves, a sacred location for the locals.

We will then visit the Titaco thermal baths, where you can enjoy the baths at your leisure. After the thermal baths, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant and return to Tacna, dropping you off at your hotels at 5 pm.
