Iquique Travel Guide

The city of Iquique, which means “where the birds and the wolves sleep” in the primitive language, is the capital of the I Region.
It used to be part of Peru before the War of the Pacific. In November 23, 1879, the Chilean army managed to conquer it. Ever since, the city has been embellished by the success of saltpeter exploitation and commercial fishing and it has never stopped growing.
At present, not only is this the largest and most important city in Northern Chile, but it is also one of the most beautiful in the country. It lies 1,760 kilometers from Santiago de Chile and 2,776 from the city of Puerto Montt.

Try to go sandboarding in Iquique! The sand is just perfect there. And if you have the opportunity going to the pueblo fantasma, do it! It'll be the most impressive town you've ever seen!!! It's a little bit spooky, but interesting...
