| From AricaGoogle Maps | 114 km: Route 5 (Ruta 5) south for about 60 km, then Ruta A-35 inland for 46 km; about 2 h 15 min. | There is a rural bus to Codpa three days a week, about 2 h; no timetables online, and the departure point in Arica is yet to be confirmed (the bus terminal or Germán Riesco street). | There are day trips to Codpa from Arica, with a stop at the Presencias Tutelares sculptures and a visit to a winery; also itineraries with a night in the valley. |
Codpa is a small village: the winery, the church and the restaurants are steps apart. To get there and explore the valley you need a car; there is no local transport.
The Fiesta de la Vendimia de Codpa (Codpa harvest festival), organized by the Municipality of Camarones, is held in mid to late May (17–19 May in 2024; 22–24 May in 2026) and draws thousands of people: book ahead. The valley sits at 1,850 m and has a mild climate year-round. In January and February, rains from the Altiplano can cut off Ruta A-35.
It works as a day trip from Arica, with lunch and a visit to the winery. If you are going to the festival, stay the night in the village.
Base town: Codpa.
Restaurant at 1: La Falca de Albarracín.
The Arica–Codpa rural bus appears only on travel aggregators (the company has no website): days, departure point and times unconfirmed. Day tours are listed in official itineraries and in cruise-ship offers, with no verified operators. The winery's profile gives no harvest month; only the festival is given here.
