Barefoot surfers, paragliding pros, casino snobs and frenzied merchants all cross paths in the rather disarming city of Iquique. Located in a golden crescent of coastline, this city is counted among Chile's premier beach resorts, with a glitzy casino, beachfront boardwalk and more activities (from paragliding to sand-boarding) than any sane person can take on in a week. The big draw here is the swaths of This replica of sunken Esmeralda, a plucky little Chilean corvette that challenged ironclad Peruvian warships in the War of the Pacific, is Iquique's new pride and glory. The original ship was captained by Arturo Prat (1848–79), whose name now graces a hundred street maps, plazas and institutions. Guided tours (reserve ahead for a tour in English) take you inside the staff quarters, past the orange-lit engine, and onto the ship's deck.

Pride of place goes to the Torre Reloj (1877) clock tower, seemingly baked and sugar-frosted rather than built. Jumping fountains line the walkway south to the marble-stepped Teatro Municipal , a neoclassical building that has been hosting opera and theater since 1890. A handsomely restored tram sits outside and occasionally jerks its way down Av Baquedano in the high season. Sweet resto-bar with a boho vibe, Lobby has four small rooms and a loungey back patio. Come for great cocktails – try the raspirinha, with raspberry vodka and berries – the sushi bar, DJ-spun tunes on weekends, great-for-sharing tablas and happy hour nightly. Created in 1975, Iquique's zona franca is a massive monument to uncontrolled consumption – reputedly South America's largest. The entire region of Tarapacá is a duty-free zone, but its nucleus is this shopping center, housing over 400 stores selling imported electronics, clothing, automobiles and almost anything else. If you want to shop, take any northbound colectivo from downtown. Don't walk – it's surrounded by some of the worst neighborhoods in town. The inner courtyard and sunchair-fringed pool make this hotel a pleasant place to recharge your batteries. Standard rooms are tidy but a little stale and stingy on space, with tiny tubs; the bigger superior rooms showcase natural light and some even have ocean views. Our independent authors have visited Hotel Barros Arana and selected this as one of our recommended hotels in Iquique. Description provided by propert
