Useful Information

WEATHER
A coast desert weather is predominant in this region, with high cloudiness high and little daily thermal oscillation; above 3000 meters predominates a normal desert, or marginal high desert, with great atmospheric dryness and high daily thermal oscillation, registering a drop in temperature and precipitations in summer (Bolivian winter).

WHAT TO PACK
It is recommended to carry very light clothes for the daytime, since temperatures are extremely high in summer: light cotton t-shirts, short pants, bathing suit, shades, sunscreen and caps for the scorching hours, as well as coats, long pants, headwear and gloves, among others warming garments, if you intend to visit the Altiplano.

WATER
There is fresh water in almost the entire territory, although for those unused to tap water and in rural areas, it is advisable to drink bottled water.

HEALTH
Arica has an ample network of hospitals and clinics to respond to all sorts of emergency. It is advisable to take precautions due to the altitude, above 3500 meters above sea level, when visiting the Altiplano (Lauca National Park), drink plenty of water during your trip and do not eat heavy meals before that; however, you need to eat adequately.

CHILEAN GASTRONOMY
Chilean cuisine is very diverse. Among its typical dishes we have: Empanada de Pino (dough stuffed with onion, meat, raisins and olives), Pastel de Choclo (made mainly of corn with meat, eggs and olives), Porotos Granados (tender potatoes cooked with gourd and corn), Cazuela de Ave o Vacuno (clear soup of chicken or beef with boiled vegetables), besides those typical of each region. Lastly, you can not fail to taste the exquisite Mote con Huesillos, a dessert elaborated from a boiled fruit and mote wheat.

IMPORTANT: Enjoy Corporation retains the right to make changes in the order of the excursions or trips without previous notice due to weather conditions, level of the rivers, arriving and departing hours of planes or buses, or for any other relevant reason, which will ensure and guarantee a better outcome for your trip.
