The shoreline of Arica is lined with tetrapods, and not the of the dinosaur kind. These massive concrete beasts line the shore, a manmade garrison defending the city’s coast from erosion.

From original to pop-cultural, here are some of their works.
If you’re in Arica and want to see the street art for yourself, walk the coast south of the port below the city’s iconic cliff.
