An analysis of Arica (Chile) is presented as a border city. It aims to describe and analyze the migratory mobility of the city of Arica and the settlements where the migrant population resides, a discussion centered on Latin American bibliography on border cities, mobility, migration and human settlements is proposed, where we resort to the categories of the ghetto and precarious city. Data production techniques were applied combining statistical production from official sources together with observation and documentary analysis. The results show that the migrant population is mainly Peruvian, Bolivian and tends to be in three large areas of the city: north, south and valley of Azapa. It is specifically investigated in the case of Cerro Chuño, which is problematized as a migrant settlement, discussing the expression of ghetto and precarious city.

Palabras llave : border city; migrations; precariousness; Cerro Chuño.
