6 Protective, Privileged and Proud in Arica, Chile

This photo captures some of my impressions of Arica, Chile. Protective: Most of the homes and buildings have barred windows and in some cases are surrounded by huge albeit crumbling walls. Privileged: This unidentified property is presumably the home of social elite in the center of a population of 200,000 where 95.7% live in a confined urban area. Proud: In the background flies the Chilean flag on top of El Morro where troops died to make it part of Chile. Then politicians continued the battle through negotiations to secure their military victory. Yet Arica’s culture is still rooted in Peruvian and Bolivian cultures, traditions and trade.
