Arica, Chile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is the capital of the Arica Province in the Tarapacá Region and has a population of approximately 200,000, and is also known as the "city of the eternal spring". |
 | | Arica has strong ties with the city of Tacna, Peru; many people cross the border everyday to visit this city, and also because many services (for example, dentists) are cheaper on the Peruvian side. |
 | | Arica is also known as one of the driest inhabited places on Earth, at least as measured by rainfall: average annual precipitation is 0.8 mm (0.03 inches), as measured at the airport meteorological station. |
