Iquique, Chile

A desert coastline where sand dunes drop straight down to the Pacific and paragliders launch right off them, a Victorian-era old town built on a nineteenth-century nitrate boom, and abandoned mining ghost towns a short drive inland.

The best time to visit Iquique is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (71°F).
