Transit from Arica, Chile to Tacna, Peru

Hello,

I’ll be in ARICA in northern Chile at the end of May 2026 and want to get to TACNA. Are there taxis, buses, or collectivos that run the border crossing route?

After that, bus to AREQUIPA (Peru): any bus company you’d recommend?

There are several bus companies on the TACNA to AREQUIPA route (via Moquegua).

Hi,

My hotel gave me the number of someone who organizes transfers in the area. The price was 50,000 pesos in June 2024 (Arica airport to Tacna city). Andrea +56 9 6788 8911 via WhatsApp.

We didn’t take even an hour, border crossing included.
