Tacna

Start around Paseo Cívico, leave time for lunch, then choose between rock art and the history of Campo de la Alianza.

What to expect

Paseo Cívico gives you somewhere to start: cathedral, square and monuments are grouped here. Then comes the more interesting decision. Head outside town to Miculla's engraved rocks, or explore what Campo de la Alianza means to Tacna?

How it fits into a journey

Practical answers

Is Tacna only a border stop?

No. The centre, Miculla and Campo de la Alianza each offer a reason to stay. Continuing to Chile needs a separate plan; this city itinerary does not cover border formalities.
