Morro de Arica

Absolutely Breathtaking ♥️ You will NOT be Disappointed

Great views, beautiful sunset and good people.

Probably the most known landmark of Arica, this rocky promontory fascinates you, both through consistent history found there (related with Pacific War, Chinchorro culture etc.) and the astonishing view towards the city, the harbour, ocean coast and the south beach of El Laucho. Not to be missed while in this northernmost city of Chile.

Morro de Arica is highly recommended for its panoramic views over the city, the port, and the vast ocean. The scenic overlook provides a unique vantage point that captures Arica’s urban and coastal beauty. The monumental Chilean flag atop the hill is a must-see. Measuring 18 meters wide and 26 meters long, and weighing over 80 kilograms, it’s one of the largest flags I’ve ever seen. While its size feels like a display of overly confidence and national pride, it’s impressive to watch the wind give life to this massive symbol. A great spot for photography and a memorable view.

Great site to see the full panorama of Chilean border history with Peru. Also, the view is incredible to admire.

Nice spot. Going uphill was easier than I expected.

We loved the views and the historical information about the battles that took place in the region. Worth a visit if you happen to be in Arica.

Must to do, if you are in Arica, a great lookout of all the bay, and the city. Good place to see the sunset and how the city turn on the lights (I prefer the night view of the cities) also is a historical and important place for all people from Arica.
