Port of Iquique
Currently, the port of Iquique is one of the most important in northern Chile and, the reason is that it serves as the main port for merchandise entering the free zone; in this way they reach different countries such as Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay, that is, it is one of the main ports of the Asia-Pacific in South America by the Pacific, unlike Valparaíso, Main port of entry of cars only in Chile. The loads that the local port moves are directly related to the ZOFRI (appliances, new and used cars, merchandise in general, mining supplies). In turn, a good part of Bolivian imports are made through this port, generating intense traffic between Iquique and the Bolivian city of Oruro. At the cruise level, Iquique has not been an attractive port since if it had been considered for example the conditions of Bathymetry, in the case of security, since it has a better navigation pit in the interior port, in addition to the hotel plaza, and eventual options, it is higher since the level of activities is higher. Iquique has 150 kilometers of beaches with very good fishing and very interesting places, in this way the small port of Arica would have been discarded flat, which would have affected the ariqueña economy. On the other hand, the port of Iquique is one of the three ports in the region, there is the port of Patillos and the port of Patache, which has a strong activity in bulk mining of Cuprífero and salt material, the latter of the Salar Grande.
