In the Background, the Saltpeter
The City of Iquique has a regional museum that enables visitors to get deep in the background of its history, where the sea, the desert and the salt are almost the same thing.
Salt of the Earth
The history of Iquique has a saltpeter origin; the salt used to be the economic and social pattern in control. Here is a tour around those days.
Told by its Owners
