IQUIQUE IS NOT KNOWN AS THE CITY OF ETERNAL SUNSHINE, IQUIQUE IS KNOWN AS THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS, YES OUR CITIES HAVE A NICKNAME BUT THAT IS NOT US, ARICA IS THE CITY OF ETERNAL SPRING FOR EXAMPLE, ANTOFAGASTA IS THE PEARL OF THE NORTH, AND SO ON... BUT WE ARE NOT THE CITY OF ETERNAL SUNSHINE, WE ARE THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;)
Also those neoclasical buildings that were shown while Phil was talking about Iquique, those were buildings in Santiago except for Teatro Municipal de Iquique (:;) (:;) (:;) (:;)
I expected so much more :gaah:

They showed the cathedral of Santiago at the beginning of the leg as it was part of Iquique. THE EXACT SAME CATHEDRAL where the teams found their clue arriving in Santiago, as if the viewers were stupid enough.
WalterC:
Sorry to say, but Iquique did not look interesting at all. Maybe the race chose the wrong places, but after seeing the 1st leg, I definitely don't have a desire to visit.
Santiago, on the other hand, looked a lot more interesting.
cosmophobia:
In fact, Iquique IS NOT interesting at all (at least for me). There's a unesco world heritage site/ghost town near the city in the desert. I still have no idea why they didn't visit it.
Santiago, on the other hand... :hrt:
However, This is the 4th time the race visits Santiago (yes, very overvisited), but it has never hosted a whole leg, it has been either a half leg or a lenghty bus connection (the bus fiasco of TAR16) Just some trivia :)
Loved the showcase of Santiago in TAR Norway!
And now that I think about it, chilean buses always deliver good TAR moments!
WalterC:
I only really remember the race actually having a leg (or parts of a leg) in Santiago during TAR7. And sucks that half of the 2nd leg of TAR23 was wasted on Iquique. I mean, 1 leg was bad enough there, but having another, is just mind-boggling, to say the least.
Though, looking at it at another way, it was not a complete waste, with certain teams choosing the Brining Detour. :)
At least no team was dumb enough to get the wrong currency.

you know what i am really loving about this season? It has had the best editing in a long time. After only TWO legs, no team has been ignored and we can get a feel for each of the teams! Also, we got moments for all teams in leg two! That is just awesome!
