Arica

Back at the beach! Thanks to Inge's good influence we scored again on a hotel with the perfect sea view location and direct access to the beach.

 We were definitely enjoying the tasty Chilean vino tinto on our balcony at night.

Colorful flowers and palm trees by our Hotel.

Hibiscus

 A baby mummy at the "Museo Arqueológico San Miguel de Anza". The museum shows some of the world's oldest mummies. None of the mummies show the faces, they were hidden behind a mask.

 

 The coast south of Arica. There are some cool looking caves, tide pools and lots of bird poop. In the past, Chile used to be known for it's export. Very smelly.

A "Loki" covered in bird poop at Plaza Colon. Lots of palm trees in Arica were destroyed by the many cormorants and other birds living here.

View from "El Morro de Arica" over the "Ex-Isla Acrán". You can see "El Gringo" surf spot on the southern part of the island, which is on the left side in this picture.
