Lluta Valley Geoglyphs
Geoglifos del Valle de Lluta
An oasis valley on the way up to the highlands, with many geoglyphs on its hillsides and wetlands at the mouth of the valley for birdwatching.
The Lluta Valley is on the required route from Arica along Route 11 up to the Lauca Plateau. Desert hillsides on both sides of the valley bear geoglyphs of llamas, human figures, and birds, and there are roadside viewpoints where you can stop. The Lluta wetlands at the river mouth are a stopover for migratory birds, where you can see many species of waterbirds besides flamingos. Lauca day-trip tours usually make a short stop here.
