blanketpower's new Antofagasta Page - Antofagasta

Been here on and off since 1997. I am working in a large copper mine about 170 km inland, but living in Antofagasta on the coast.

Anto is not exactly a wonderful tourist spot, but is a useful stopover and service canter on the way to more scenic or interesting places like the nearby San Pedro de Atacama. Antofagasta has a modern airport, and is easily accessible from Santiago.
