Ghost town Saltpeter Humberstone

Ghost town Saltpeter Humberstone

We go back to the 19th century in Chile, where we will explore the Saltpeter Offices of Humberstone and Santa Laura in this full day excursion from Iquique. Discover the fascinating history of deserted nitrate mines, now declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and then visit La Tirana, where the country's largest religious festival is celebrated every July 16th. Then we go to the Oasis of Pica where we will have lunch at a local restaurant (included) and end up relaxing in the semi-thermal waters of Our Oasis, better known as "La Cocha", which will arrive with renewed energy to enjoy the Iquique Night.
