displays show how the semi-nomadic Chinchorro people lived along the
coast and in the desert.

You will gain a different perspective on northern Chile’s ancient cultures
by viewing several geoglyphs in the nearby valley. These giant, unique
and often geometric works of art were created by Indians scratching the
salty surface of the brightly colored rocks and even using primitive
paints. Afterwards, you will then see the creativity of today’s inhabitants
by visiting a handicraft village that is a recreation of the Parinacota
Village. On display are knitted articles, ceramics, pottery, carved stones
and numerous other items.

Returning to Arica, you will stop at the Church of San Marcos, a 19th
century Gothic edifice located at the base of El Morro.

The famed French architect and structural engineer Gustave Eiffel
designed the church, which aside from the wooden doors, is constructed
entirely of metal. After seeing this Chilean national monument, you will
return to the pier.
