Review & FAQ:
Antofagasta is not so much an in-demand Chilean travel destination as a convenient and restful place to relax for a day or two between other attractions. As a coastal city, it has the requisite white sand beaches nearby with areas of calm water for families with small children and areas of waves for surf and body boarders. Barrio Histórico is worth a look for the architecture. The main tourist attractions are not in the city itself, but in the surrounding region, including the 140-foot-high La Portada Natural Monument, Atacama Desert, Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert) sculpture, and Atacama Solar.
