Itinerary - Iquique, Chile

Oct 18th to 20th

We will stay at the Azapa Inn, Arica on the night of the 17th for 3 nights before heading south along the coast.

Oct 20th

We will drive along Rt 5 to Iquique, Chile, a fair size city on the coast in the El Norte Grande of Chile. There is a beautiful wide beach lined with hotels. We don't have a reservation but we will find a hotel when we get there. Along the way we will stop and see more Geoglyphs and a number of ghost towns which dot the Norte.

Oct 21st to 23rd

Iquique is famous here for shopping. Not that we need anything more than a small cutting board! We've collected a paring knife and vegetable peeler so far on the trip. Vegetables and fruit are plentiful but never at restaurants, so we supplement our diet.

From Iquique (pronounced E key kay) we will do day trips to visit the numerous nitrate ghost towns, especially to Humberstone, a huge ghost town. The collapse of the nitrate industry left many abandoned towns to explore. We also want to find a mudbath/hot springs village.
