DAY 01: IQUIQUE: Full day tour Isluga National Park and Geyser of Puchuldiza
Full day excursion to Isluga National Park. Departure in the morning towards the highest summits of the Andean Cordillera, where we will find very ancient Aymara settlements with their ancestral customs still alive, beside the mystical scenery of the Altiplano. The small hamlets with adobe houses surrounding the traditional church are located by the wetlands, grasslands of high altitude, higher than 4.000 meters above sea level. Herds of llamas and alpacas are abundant in the surroundings, all framed by the snowcapped volcanoes. We will visit the Town of Isluga and the Geyser of Puchuldiza, a spurt of boiling water that forms an amazing tower of ice when it falls. Lunch on the way. Return to Iquique at dusk.

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.

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 emergencies.
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.
