Destinations >> Chile >> Antofagasta

Aport city in northern Chile about 700 miles north of Santiago is the city of Antofagasta. The city’s name comes from either a Quechua or Aymara word for “town of the great saltpeter bed”.

Antofagasta lies in the Atacama Desert, which is among the Earth’s driest regions. Antofagasta was founded on October 22, 1868 and was created a port that would provide outlet for saltpeter (nitrate) exports and establish control over an area where Chilean has settled and were smuggling this material.

This city is major attraction and is a city with much tradition. The natural attraction is the fascinating rock formations in the coast.





Boomers Abroad

Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.
