Ruta 5 Arica to Iquique Road

The road from Arica to Iquique is renowned for being dangerous; you drive past very deep valleys and wind your way through spotting ever so often telltale vehicle skeletons at the bottom. The few times you can see cars and buses passing by they were doing so at such a speed that you may think they are either tempting fate very foolishly or perhaps they are just ghosts whizzing past. The monohued and isolated scenery is well capable of endowing you with the capacity to have such visions so concentrating and avoiding the use of any form of hallucinatory substance is essential here.
