Iquique is an old port city in the north of Chile that has been reinvented in recent years as a beach resort and gateway to the Atacama Desert. With a population of around 220,000, it's the largest city in the Tarapacá Region. The city has a pretty setting, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the snow-capped Andes on the other. The main attractions are the beaches, which are popular with locals and tourists alike. Iquique is also a good base for exploring the Atacama Desert, which is one of the driest places on Earth.
