This magnificent view is just a few miles north of the city of Antofagasta, near the airport. The colors and magnitude of the scenery is unbelievable.

Antofagasta is not much of a tourist destination, but I found that it still had lots to offer. The scenery is striking as you can look out into the vast empty expanse of desert, and feel like you are lost in the middle of nowhere, and then turn around, and yet there´s the ocean behind you! The Portada itself is an arch in sea, which to me was really inspiring. I know other reviewers seemed disappointed, but I found i marvelous to witness a wonder of nature. That being said, it is a difficult place to get to, I had access to a car, but without that I don´t think there´s any way to get here (maybe taxi?) It is free and also there is a restaurant, but I heeded the advice I saw here and didn´t bother with it. One of the paths is closed, thanks to an earthquake, but I still thought it was an awesome experience watching the sun set behind La Portada and the city lights of Antofagasta turning on.

Antofagasta is an amazing city full of things to do and fun, but undoubtedly "La Portada" in Antofagasta is its main attraction, this amazing rock formation in the middle of a beautiful beach draws attention to itself, the descent is equally amazing where you can observe the different sea nieveles in the ancient times. It's the perfect mix between desert, natural beauty and ocean. This place is also well known for beeing the icon of the second region and the city too.

Easy to get to from Antofagasta city. The views both south and north of this point really drive home the point of the isolation and hostile coast that seafarers of centuries past faced in exploring this new world. It is worth the contemplation.

La Portada - product of seawater abrasive activity together with adjacent cliffs, roaring ocean and sounds of cormorant is a place which is necessary to visit, if you are in Antofagasta.One feels highly small in comparison with the infinite power of nature. Go and see!

Nothing to see, just a view of the big rock with a hole in the middle, you can't go down to the beach, the stairs are blocked. You can get there by taxi, 15 min from downtown, it will cost you something around 15-20 bucks.

Hi guys, one of me favorite places in Chile is Antofagasta because is the gate to other places and I love the fact you are between sea and desert. La Portada in particular has this beautiful energy about this place, the whether in Antofagasta is always great because it never rains so you can go anytime, any day to see this "espetaculo" of nature.

If you come to this city you must see this place. Is only 35 minutes travel by car from the city. Is a view of the sandy formation eroded by the sea creating a beautiful cliff and also in the sea you will see a rocky arch. Beautiful!

It is a must see if you are in Antofagasta. The beach is closed due to concerns of falling rocks after the last earthquake hit the area so you can only take pictures of La Portada.

This rock is a symbol for this city and highlights how really astonishing the northern coastline of Chile is. It is an amazing sight when the surf is wild!
