Garmin International
01 Arica
Sandy road leading to the beach.
Next to a military area where we asked for permission to camp here at the beach.
This spot is accessible by 1-2km of gravel road after the paved road from Arica. That is also the reason why there are nearly none locals passing by here and it is very quiet.
There is a wide beach but cold water.
Very high humidity from the sea (salty).
Unfortunately as often at such well known spots close to the city, there is quite some litter around which is disapointing.
Also there is the motodrom close by. On weekends you may have the chance to visit a race (and hear the sound of racing motors :-) )

01a Arica
Same like '01 Arica'. Just a bit further down the beach and therefore even more remote.

02 Ruta A-31
Beside the Ruta A-31 in a dip next to a river bed.
The A-31 is a good road and nice drive from Arica into the mountains. This spot is on an elevation of 3.060m and a good spot for aclimatisation.
As there are mountains around, there is not much view, except the mountains.
The place is not pretty level but you can position a truck quite nicely for a night.
There is very little to none traffic on this road, so very quiet at night. Expect some wind (depending of the time of the day).

03 Salar de Surire
In the NP Los Vicunas at the Salar de Surire.
Next to the hot pools where you can take a bath.
Very quiet spot right next to a good piste.
Lots of Vicunias around. Nice views at the mountains, whereas some are capped with snow.

04 El Gigante de Tarapaca, Huara
There is lot of space in the dessert around the 'El Gigante' geoglyph.
Currently there is construction work in progress to re-build the road and parking lots. Hence we could not get all around the hill.
Even if this is in distance to the CH-15 road, you will hear a bit the traffic.
There is no infrastructure, except a trash bin.
It is a good spot for an overnight, even when travelling on the ruta 5, a detour is worth it.

05 Caleta Vitor
Tranquillo beach with palm trees.
Very nice and quiet spot. But during weekends it can be very busy with people from Arica.
The litter at the beach starts to get more and more but a local guy cleans up every Monday. More people also arrive since the access road got recently paved.
There are maily two options to stay:
1) on a (concrete) platform at the former military base above the beach.
2) directly at the beach between palm trees and bushes or directly on sand.
There is a nice sand beach, but be careful with the strong current and waves if having a bath in the cold water.
No infrastructure and no local houses in sight of the beach area.
Very nice local people with whom we traded locally grown tomatos and pepper.

06 Arica Center
We parked on the parking lot next to the port. Very close to the city center and guarding people will watch for the car.
Until late night you might hear sound of the cranes loading ships in the harbour. Only few cars passing by during night, so okay to sleep.
No infrastructure.
