The city in northern Chile has blossomed from a mining town to a popular seaside resort with white beaches and palm trees. While Iquique is mainly visited by Chilean tourists, it is still an insider tip for foreigners. The journey is worth a visit because the desert town offers an enormous selection of attractive leisure and outdoor activities and has made a name for itself as an excellent terrain for a wide variety of sports. Paragliding, diving, sand sailing and desert golf are just a few of the many possibilities. And last but not least due to the excellent surfing conditions off the coasts of the city, the Surf World Championship was held here in 2007.
