"The City of Eternal Spring"

Hello everyone, today I will tell you about my childhood city “Arica”.

I was born in Arica. This city is in extreme north of Chile. Arica has direct contact with Peru and Bolivia this because of the frontiers. Therefor is considerate a short stay city because when the people come to Arica, they continue the travel to another city for example in Peru like Cuzco and Arequipa or in Bolivia like La Paz.

Arica is not a big city. It has a little more than 200.000 habitants. Arica has coast in all his extension; thus, it has an international ship port. Cruises come from Europe and North America but the most famous come from Germany.

 

Here there are 4 beaches where you can practice aquatic sports like surf, bodyboard, paddle or if you want to take a break of the job, you can sunbathe on the beach or just swimming there.

If you are into vegetation, don't think that Arica it's just desert, Arica has two valleys, Azapa Valley and Lluta Valley; and if you are into history, Arica it's recognize by his Chinchorro culture mummies, that are the oldest mummies in the world.

 

To conclude I find Arica a good city to live and it’s perfect for the elderly people because it’s not too expensive, the distance to go to everywhere in the city are very short, it’s a quite city and the weather is always good, due to this it’s know by the name of “the city of the eternal spring”.
