IQUIQUE, CHILE

Hola Familia y Amigos-
We started our journey down the coast of Chile. We flew to the southernmost city in Peru and took a bus across the Chilean border. We are in a coastal town called Iquique and then we're headed on a bus to Antofagasta, which is a town about 8 hrs south. Iqique is a small beach town....not too touristy. There are quite a few surfers and the waves look pretty big. Our hostal was pretty nice...bunk beds, peeps from all over the world and a very social environment. We went out last night for a good dinner and drinks...having a great time checkin out the city. Hope all is well. Peace & Love

Free breakfast at the hostal in Tacna, Peru
