Travel Guide La Vallee Du Rio Lluta

From the earliest kilometres (km 13 and 15), it is enchantment at the sight of these géoglyphes (La Rana, El Aguila, El Gigante) that represent llamas and human figures. Take the time to visit the petroglyphs (from Rosario) and kollqas. Monoliths mark the entrance of the paths leading to the sites, or the location of a mirador. Not of the best taste, but finally… this does not prevent the destruction of sites, which is much more regrettable.At the level of km 35, you enter the village of Poconchile. The church San Geronimo, visible on your right, was given the first parish of the Corregiment of Arica. However, the one before the eyes is not the same that was built in 1605; we are well aware of this by judging its architecture (this reconstruction must date from the beginning of the th century). In fact, the first church was built below, at the place of the first location of the village. Behind the church, a often flowery cemetery testifies to the respect of the Chileans surrounding their dead. The Lluta bus departs from the terminal from Arica to Poconchile.At km 38,5 a large sign indicates the location of a restaurant. Choose to win the one on the left (on the left of the road), which has the picturesque name of… km 38,5! You can buy a good cheese produced in the valley, drink cheap, refreshing juices or eat very good food for prices that are also available. Finally, if you wish, you will be able to go back to the back and take a good evening to the entire alpacas clique whose owners of the restaurant are breeding.
