Antofagasta
Travel Guide South America Chile Antofagasta
Introduction
Antofagasta is a port city in the north of Chile with about 300,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of both the Antofagasta Province and Region and is great stopover for travellers between Santiago and places further north and into Peru and Bolivia. The city deserves a day or so, but hasn't got that much to offer to spend more time.

Post
Correos de Chile is the national postal service, and although relatively slow it is reliable with post offices throughout the country. On the website you can find more information about prices to send letters, postcards and parcels, both domestically as well as internationally. Post offices are generally open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday until 2:00pm, although there are sometimes longer opening hours in the bigger central post offices and shorter ones in small places. Ask around.
