Recordist's notes
The port of Iquique plays a crucial role in trade with neighboring countries, particularly Bolivia, which has no direct access to the sea. Additionally, it contributes to the economic dynamism of the entire region through the transit of goods. On this extract, one can hear the sound of containers being downloaded on the docks from a container ship.
