Antofagasta Travel Guide
Chile
Antofagasta is a city of 309,832 people on Chile’s northern Pacific coast. Its setting in the country’s arid north gives it a dry desert climate moderated by the coast.
Most air travellers arrive through Andres Sabella Galvez International Airport, the airport serving the city. There are no specifically named notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so Antofagasta is better approached as a coastal city rather than a beach-focused destination.

Tipping: Tipping is customary in Chile for good service. While not legally required, it is widely practiced, especially in the service industry. Bills in restaurants may already include "propina", but it is optional and can be adjusted.
