Day 419 - Antofagasta, Chile

Day 419

We spent a couple of days in Antofagasta, a city along the Pacific on our way south. It’s a busy port city where copper is mined and then shipped around the world, mostly industrial but with beautiful views of the ocean, barreling waves loved by surfers and high cliffs and mountains. It was a Bolivian city until 1879 when Chile occupied and one obsession in the Latin American War of the Pacific.
