Iquique is northern Chile's Pacific port — built in the Atacama Desert (the world's driest non-polar desert; some weather stations have never recorded rainfall), with a Zona Franca duty-free zone that's been the structural commercial driver since 1975. The waterfront promenade, Plaza Prat (with the wooden Casino Español from the saltpeter-boom era), and Playa Cavancha are the urban-beach anchors. Chile's Digital Nomad Visa (launched 2024, USD 800/mo income, 1-year renewable) is one of Latin America's cheapest DNV thresholds. The structural draws: paragliding from the Atacama cliffs straight to the beach (Alto Hospicio is a world-renowned launch site), zero rain, and Bolivia border-run access via Pisiga.
