Azapa Valley is a fertile, narrow oasis surrounded by two small, dry hills. Located 3 km. from Arica, this region is known for its production of a great variety of vegetables and fruits, plus the exquisite olive from Azapa, famous because of its violet color and bitter flavor.

One of the most characteristic places is the "handmade" settlement "José Raúl Naranjo Meneses", very similar to Parinacota. Located in Hualles street and very close to Manuel Castillo Ibaceta rotunda, it offers visitors a wide variety of crafts. There are items made of stone and wood. You can also purchase archaeological reproductions, pottery from the North, textiles and metal sculptures. There are many geoglyphs in this valley.
