At first Ilo doesn't look that promising, as you pass the copper refinery on the way into town. But the town centre is rustic, with some marvellous old buildings and a very well laid out plaza. The views of the fishing harbour, especially from the main pier, are spectacular. The promenade along the water front has some great seafood eateries and a good vibe. We took a boat tour from the main pier, and got to see the massive sea lions who love sunbaking on the buoys in the harbour. From Ilo you can do a day trip inland to Moquegua, which is only about 1hr 15mins away. Classic Peruvian desert scenery.
