A cobbled, old-Western style street with plentiful tourist and artisan activities. Buildings around constructed during the 19th century offer interesting architecture mainly in Georgian and Victorian styles adapted to the coastal desert climate.
Baquedano Street, originally known as Santa Rosa Street and then as Huancavelica Street prior to 1883, is a long avenue in the old quarter of Iquique, Chile. It is a popular tourist attraction and is a "typical zone", a status that preserves its historical and architectural heritage. It is characterized by its late 19th and early 20th-century houses built of wood from Europe.

Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works
This UNESCO site is an old residential and production site from the days of the saltpetre era. Few residential houses are furnished, but most of the site is still in remarkable condition due to the dry atmosphere. Allow 1-2 hr to stroll around the huge area.
The Tarapacá Giant
The largest geoglyph in the region. A remarkable planning effort considering that it is hundreds of years old. You get the best overall picture when looking on Google Earth though; therefore you could stop there if you are driving along these roads any way but it's doubtful whether it really pays to come here from a long distance.
