Cuevas de Anzota
A group of sea caves beneath the southern sea cliffs, with a boardwalk running through them along the cliff, where you can see sea lions and pelicans.
The Cuevas de Anzota lie along the coast about 9 km south of the city. A wooden boardwalk about 1 km long runs along the sea cliffs and passes through several sea-carved caves, where evidence of Chinchorro habitation has been found. Along the way you can see sea lions, pelicans, and cormorants, and the waves crashing against the shore are impressive. Admission is free. There is no public transport, so you need a car or taxi. Falling rocks are a risk on the path, so follow the signs and stay on the walkway.
