Tourist Guide Antofagasta

Antofagasta, or the North Pearl, is a port city north of the Chilean capital, Santiago. Its eastern edge is bounded by the steep hills of Chile’s Cordillera de la Costa; the Pacific Ocean is to its west.

Twelve miles of coastline and a mild climate with an average temperature of 17°C have helped this city develop as a year-round beach resort. It has cloudless skies throughout the year, due to which there are numerous observatories with some of the world’s largest telescopes.

Antofagasta’s lucrative nineteenth-century nitrate mines attracted many foreign settlers, and the architecture and atmosphere of the city has a typical European influence. Its population of over 3,00,000 is primarily Chilean, but there are Croatian and Greek communities as well. Fishing and mining are the dominant activities.
