Iquique, Chile was once the center
of the mining of nitrates ( used in explosives and fertilizer), Iquique
still maintains the nostalgic mood of that bygone era in many of the older
buildings that have been preserved. It was also the site of one of the
largest naval battles in history. It features a duty free shopping area
and beautiful white sand beaches for those who just want to relax. Just
off the coast the sportsman will find excellent salt water fishing. Iquique
is located about 350 km. south of Arica. For the tourist or business traveler,
Iquique has a wide selection of hotels, one sure to fit any taste or budget.
