Landmark Tourist Spot

©

Watch the social life of Iquique fly by as you relax at Plaza Prat. Iquique's central square offers a spacious respite from the narrow, crowded streets that make up much of the city, serving as a social hub for young Chileans about to embark on a night out. The square houses several notable buildings, including the municipal theater and a clock tower that lights up into a beacon of color at night. Take a seat, compose yourself, and enjoy some quality people-watching. Plan to visit Plaza Prat and other customer-reviewed, writer-recommended Iquique attractions using our Iquique vacation builder.
