Antofagasta
June 13, 2018 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
I arrived in Antofagasta! It was so great so see old friends and to meet new ones!
Here are photos of La Portada. I don't know if you can see him, but there is a baby sea lion in the fourth foto.
TravelerBuena Pregunta: It is winter here. Antofagasta is really far north of Santiago (Where it snowed). I am at the Tropic of Capricorn (if you want to look at latitude). In the day time it is between 16-19 degrees C. However, Antofagasta is in the desert and the temperature drops quickly, at night it is closer to 9 or 10 degrees Celsius. However, there is no heat inside buildings in Antofagasta (Santiago has some). Everyone wears a coat all of the time. In school, students will wear gloves and scarves. If it is sunny, you don't need a coat, but if it is cloudy, it is cold. Oh, and the weather itself never actually changes, only the amount of cloud cover. In Antofagasta it will not rain. Gracias por preguntar.
