These days, and even as far back as the 16th century when Coquimbo was popular with pirates and privateers such as Sir Francis Drake, the town is bustling with activity. It serves not only as a commercial center for the export of the region's fish and fruit, but ... ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: Iquique, Chile **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Iquique is a coastal city in northern Chile, to the west of the Atacama Desert.

Once ashore, embrace these elements as they surround you, filling your senses with the essence of this delightful port city.
