Arica

We arrived in Arica just before 6 in the morning. As we had arranged with our hostel to check in around 6:30 we waited around the bus station for half an hour. After walking to the hostel, and apparently waking up the owner, we had a nap, breakfast and decided to go and explore as we were only there for one day before moving on. We went on a walk towards the city centre where there was a pretty cool little square and then made our way back through the high street, which was very busy. On our way back to the hostel we decided to go via the beach. It was pretty massive and was completely empty which was a little odd. However we stopped for some lunch at a cool little restaurant and then went back to the hostel. The rest of the day was spent chilling out, napping and eating before our long day travelling which was to follow.
