Arica is Chile's northernmost city, located in a desert region near the borders of Peru and Bolivia. Known as the "City of Eternal Spring" due to its mild climate, this coastal city has a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times.

The area was originally inhabited by various indigenous cultures, including the Chinchorro people, known for their ancient mummification practices that predate those of ancient Egypt. The city played a significant role in South American history, particularly during the War of the Pacific in the late 19th century.

Today, Arica serves as an important port city and cultural center, blending indigenous, colonial, and modern Chilean influences. The city's cultural landscape is marked by archaeological sites, historical buildings, and museums that showcase its diverse heritage, from prehistoric artifacts to contemporary art.
