Azapa Valley

Valleys

Azapa Valley is a narrow, fertile oasis in Chile's Arica y Parinacota Region, framed between two arid hills and divided by the seasonally flowing San Jose River, about three kilometres from the city of Arica. Its distinct climate supports year-round farming of a wide range of fruits and vegetables, most notably the valley's own Azapa olives, prized for their violet color and bitter flavor.
