| Sunny skies and extensive beaches make Chile’s northern coast an ideal location for relaxing getaways. Arica, Iquique and Antofagasta all boast top-notch hotels, excellent seafood, casinos and clubs. Because this area possesses the clearest skies in the southern hemisphere, the Southern Cross and the twin Magellan Cloud galaxies can be distinctly seen from here. | ||
| Over 140 species of endemic cacti can be found in Pan de Azucar National Park; and Reserva Nacional Pinguino de Humboldt is home to a wide variety of birds and marine mammals, including sea lions, bottle-nosed dolphins, Humboldt penguins and Chilean pelicans. In September and October, following exceptionally rainy winters, the coastal desert around Vallenar bursts into color in a phenomenon known as the “flowering desert.” | ||
