Antofagasta Antofagasta is the largest city in Northern Chile. It is a major travel hub for the Second Region and has some economic importance due to the export of copper. The city hosts two universities. The climate is fantastic. It is not know that the climate has ever been lower than 10 degrees Celsius at night. The sights in the city are rather limited, but the beautiful cliff formations at La Portada, 16 km north of the city are well worth a stop-over in Antofagasta. Besides that the city is known to be close to Juan Lopez, a windsurfers' paradise about 40 km north of the provincial capital.
