Super Stadtrundfahrt in Arica

Wow, die halbtägige Stadtrundfahrt in Arica war fantastisch! Wir haben so viele interessante Orte gesehen, wie das alte Zollhaus und die Kathedrale San Marcos. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Aussicht vom Morro de Arica. Tangol Tours hat wirklich einen großartigen Service geboten. Definitiv ein Muss, wenn du in Arica bist!
