Another day we ventured to the ruins of an old mine in the middle of the city. Again very poorly cared for and very little information about what it was. Lots of trash. However, the fact that it's in the middle of the city (right across from Casino Enjoy! actually, yes the name is in English), is pretty spectacular when considering the contrast and makes the ruins seem somehow mystic.
La portada is a natural monument so to speak. You can kind of see it in the pics (not well I apologize). It is basically a huge arch carved out of a large rock on the coast of Antofagasta. It is close to the airport about 45 minutes from my house, and pretty interesting to see. It was pretty cold and windy, though, so we didn't stay long.
