    Such an old Peruvian battleship captured by Chilean navy in the 1800's, actually is a beautiful museum that commemorates the Iquique naval battle and the internationally acknowledged heroism of Captain Arturo Prat and his men who died at the main deck during battle, a "must to visit" being in Talcahuano

    Must See!.Living piece of naval history! Few dollars for the ticket(have chillian money for the tickets)and you can walk through the naval base to Huascar vessel which is at anchor few hundred meters away from the ticketing counter. As I was told cannot take photos of the Naval base. A suvinior stall right next to the Huascar sells nice stuff.(Also you need local money to purchase them) Small ferry ride from jetty to Huascar is nice. Inside the boat you can see photos and drawings which explains to naval war times of Huascar. Good luck!

    (Translated by Google) e huascar is very beautiful but it is not worth that the Chileans grab it as a trophy that ship would really be here in PERU this is their country not in CHILE they take it as any relic but they do not know that to get it they killed several Peruvians and gives a lot of courage ... that's wrong, return it to PERU where it belongs (Original) e huascar es muy hermoso pero no se vale q los chilenos lo agarren como trofeo ese barco de veria de estar aca en PERU este es su pais no en CHILE elos lo toman como cualquier reliquia pero no saben que para conseguirla mataron a varios peruanos y da mucho coraje....eso es esta mal devuelvanlo al PERU donde ppertenece

    (Translated by Google) It is not fair, it is good that they have it as a trophy but do not put the flag of Chile if not that of Peru because this is our boat (Original) No es justo esta bien que lo tengan como trofeo pero no pongan la bandera de chile si no de la de Perú porque este es nuestro barco

    Invaluable piece of history which you can see and feel. There is not much guidance around the sight except the signs with info. I missed the navy cadets giving an in person explanation of the many interesting details in the history of this ship.

  • 4/5 Marco E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place without a doubt, the bad very long waiting times, I was with my family 3 hrs. To enter 20 minutes where you can not read anything of its history, I think that with a walkway from the dock to the monitor and bars from the access, the times would be shorter, more security would be opened with no risk of falling into the sea, the rest a 7. (Original) Hermoso lugar sin duda, lo malo muy largo los tiempos de espera, estuve con mi familia 3 hrs. Para ingresar 20 minutos donde no se alcanza a leer nada de su historia, creo que con una pasarela desde el muelle hasta el monitor y rejas desde el acceso se acortarian más los tiempos, abria más seguridad con nada de riesgo de caer al mar el resto un 7.

  • 1/5 jennifer f. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) BAD ORGANIZATION .. NOBODY GIVES EXPLANATIONS OR UPDATES THEIR PAGES WITH THE CORRESPONDING SCHEDULES .. THE SCHEDULE IS NOT LIKE IT COMES OUT ON THE PAGE AS ALL THE LETTERS DO IT DELIVERY IN THE MORNING IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEY DO NOT TURN ON THEM ONLY OF THE GROUPS THAT DID NOT REACH IN THE MORNING. PEOPLE GO ON THE AFTERNOON SCHEDULE AND IT IS OUT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT DELIVER MORE LETTERS FORM LONG ROW AND NOBODY GETS OUT TO GIVE SOME INGORMATION .. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE .. (Original) MALA ORGANIZACION.. NADIE SALE A DAR EXPLICACIONES NI ACTUALIZAN SUS PAGINAS CON LOS HORARIOS CORRESPONDIENTES.. EL HORARIO NO ES COMO SALE EN LA PAGINA YA QUE TODAS LAS LETRAS LA HACEN ENTREGA EN LA MAÑANA EN LA TARDE NO ABRE VOLETERIA Y PASAN SOLAMENTE LAS LETRAS DE LOS GRUPOS QUE NO ALCANZARON EN LA MAÑANA . LA GENTE VA EN EL HORARIO DE LA TARDE Y QUEDA FUERA PORQUE NO ENTREGAN MAS LETRAS SE FORMAN LARGAS FILA Y NADIE SALE A DAR ALGUNA INGORMACION.. MUY MALA EXPERIENCIA..

    (Translated by Google) Bad opportunity to visit Huáscar very late, if or if you have to arrive before opening hours (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) since they deliver tickets for groups and reach a certain number of people, therefore, if you arrive after 1:00 pm there are probably no numbers left to enter. The opening hours and visits, has nothing to do with the delivery of tickets, so if all tickets are delivered at 11:00 and no one can enter after that time, because each group, there is at least one visiting time Try to arrive early, otherwise you will not be able to enter. (Original) Mala ocasión visitar el Huáscar muy tarde, si o si hay que llegar antes del horario de apertura (11:00 A 17:00) ya que entregan tickets por grupos y llegan hasta cierta cantidad de personas, por lo tanto, si llegas después de las 13:00 probablemente ya no queden números para ingresar. El horario de atención y visita, no tiene nada que ver con la entrega de tickets, por lo que si se entregan todos los tickets a las 11:00 ya nadie podrá ingresar después de esa hora, por que cada grupo, hay al menos una hora de visita. Procure llegar temprano, d ello contrario no podrá ingresar.
