Spanish family traveled Chile from north to south in a motorhome

Chilean authorities conducted a joint operation to remove motorhomes from Ike Ike beach in Iquique. The operation was led by Carabineros from the 4th Cavancha Commissary of the Iquique Prefecture.

Chilean authorities conducted an operation at Ike Ike beach, removing five motorhomes used for commercial rental. The rest of the campsite was relocated 80 meters from the shoreline. The action was based on sanitary violations and the prohibition of commercial use of public beaches.

Chile's Maritime Authority has proposed that Iquique municipality establish designated areas for motorhomes by the summer of 2027. The goal is to end unauthorized coastal occupations and regulate the traditional camping practice. The initiative aims to provide safe infrastructure and maintain public beach access for all tourists.

Dozens of motorhomes have occupied the Ike-Ike beach in the city of Iquique, Chile. Locals accuse families using these vehicles of taking over the resort area, preventing other people from setting up their tents.

The Ike-Ike beach, located 115 km from Iquique, has been occupied by motorhomes rented out for tourism. The local community is demanding an explanation from the authorities. The incident has gained national attention.
