First stops on the tour are Santa Laura and Humberstone: ghost towns left behind by the defunct nitrate industry. Afterwards, the journey continues to the rock paintings of Cerro Unita, where the best-known painting is the \u2018Atacama Giant\u2019 (Gigante de Atacama). At 86m\/282ft, it is the largest of his kind in the world.<br \/>\nLunch is at a restaurant typical for the region.<br \/>\nYou steadily gain altitude as the journey continues, before reaching Chuzmisa, at 3,400m\/11,155ft, in the late afternoon. Overnight accommodation is at the Caba\u00f1as de Chuzmisa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 2 \u2013 Chusmiza \u2013 Colchane <\/strong><br \/>\nThe tour continues onwards and upwards, heading in the direction of Colchane. En route, impressive valleys are traversed, such as the \u2018Valley of Happiness\u2019 (Valle de Felicidad), and the villages of Cariquima and Anconvinto are passed, the latter lying at 3,800m\/12,468ft. This is also where you get out for a walk, for a closer encounter with nature, including the giant cacti Echinopsis atacamensis.<br \/>\nA boxed lunch is carried for today.<br \/>\nColchane, located at 3,730m\/12,238ft, will be reached in the afternoon. The remainder of the day is set aside for acclimatising to the altitude, and the night is spent at the Hostal Camino del Inca.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 3 \u2013 Colchane \u2013 Surire <\/strong><br \/>\nDeparting from Colchane, your journey continues in the direction of the Isluga Volcano National park, where the village of Isluga is visited. The most beautiful church of the Chilean altiplano (high plateau) is found there.<br \/>\nLunch is at the thermal springs of Enquelga.<br \/>\nAlong the way, you will have the chance to spot the varied fauna of the Andes, including guanacos, vicu\u00f1as, alpacas, pumas, foxes, flamingos, as well as many rare bird species, armadillos, and skunks \u2013 to name just a few!<br \/>\nThe highest point of the tour is reached today, where at 4,900m\/16,076ft, you can enjoy marvellous views of the Isluga volcano and the Surire salt pan.<br \/>\nOvernight accommodation is at a simple refuge located at 4,200m\/13,780ft, near the Salar de Surire. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 4 \u2013 Surire \u2013 Putre <\/strong><br \/>\nYou will visit the thermal springs of Polloquere and the salt pan of Surire early in the morning, where you have the opportunity to observe large flocks of flamingos. Afterwards, the journey continues north, en route for the Lauca National park, visiting the Las Vicu\u00f1as national reserve on the way, as well as various villages.<br \/>\nThe emerald green surface of Lake Chungar\u00e1, at an altitude of 4,500m\/14,764ft, beautifully reflects the snow-covered cone of the Parinacota volcano. The village of Parinacota will be visited as well, where there is another historic adobe church, dating from the 17th century.<br \/>\nFrom there, the journey begins its descent to Putre, located at 3,500m\/11,483ft, where you stay the night at the Hosteria Las Vicu\u00f1as. This is also the first time you can enjoy the advantages of \u2018civilisation\u2019 again, such as telephones and the internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 5 \u2013 Putre \u2013 Arica<\/strong><br \/>\nYour last day is spent travelling to Arica. The journey traverses the fertile Lluta Valley, where corn has been cultivated since the dawn of time. Lunch is at a restaurant en route.<br \/>\nThe archaeological museum of San Miguel is visited once the Azapa Valley is reached, which contains an interesting collection of mummies belonging to the Chinchorro Culture.<br \/>\nAfterwards, the tour continues to Arica, where a short drive through the city is followed by arrival at the airport, which marks the end of your journey.<\/p>\n<p>The tour can be extended with additional hotel nights in Arica.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"pane\">\n\t\t\n&#8211; Tour guide<br \/>\n&#8211; Private transport in all-terrain vehicles<br \/>\n&#8211; Accommodation in the places mentioned<br \/>\n&#8211; Full board<br \/>\n&#8211; Provision of mineral water during journeys<br \/>\n&#8211; Oxygen supply available in the vehicle<br \/>\n&#8211; Entrance fees<br \/>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"pane\">\n\t\t\nDue to the local climate, this tour cannot be offered during the months of December, January or February.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel Type: Active Duration: 5 Days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":69,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Overlanders Extremo Norte Overlanders Extremo Norte - travelArt","description":"Altiplano Arica Beach Arica Cathedral Humberstone Iquique Esmeralda Art der Reise: Aktiv Dauer: 5 Tage Tourverlauf Leistungen Anmerkungen IQUIQUE - ARICA (5 Tag"},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2034","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2034\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/69"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
