Things to do in Arica

The ancient sea in front of me is vast, peaceful and gentle. Occasionally, speedboats or cruise ships create white waves on the sea, but soon it returns to calm again. The remaining stone pillars appear slender and light against the backdrop of the blue sky, sea water and cliffs, unlike the heavy Parthenon. There are ropes to pull up fences outside the stone pillars. The strong sea breeze in the evening makes people can't help but wrap up their clothes tightly. There are two staff members in down jackets in front of the temple, both of them are ladies. They have been guarding these dozen stone pillars for many years, looking at the sea in front of them.

Mummies were also discovered here, and their history is even older than that of Egypt, which makes this museum, which looks like a few simple sheds and stones, very attractive. Many wax models that imitate people's lives in the desert, some stone and woven works, plus the nearly 50 mummies, enrich this on-site heritage protection museum built in the 21st century.
