We spent the whole day in the town of Arica in northern Chile. Our excursion took us to wetlands where we saw many species of birds including giant egrets, tri-colour herons and brown headed gulls. We also learned a lot of history from our guides who told us about the history of the area and we ended the trip at the top of the Morro di Arica where the final battle between the Peruvians and Chileans took place in 1880 during the War of the Pacific.
