Antofagasta just in case of emergency
jovicunad Says: I really don't recommend to stay at Antofagasta, not because of the people. Just because this city doesn't have anything interesting to do or to visit. Some people say that make a little tour to "La Portada" maybe could be interesting, but that's all you can do. If...
