Cobija, Chile, Pacific port at Tocopilla, Chile
Cobija features remaining structures along a fishing settlement on the Pacific coast, 59 kilometers south of Tocopilla and 128 kilometers north of Antofagasta.
The port served as Bolivia's primary maritime gateway from 1825 until 1879, when Chilean forces occupied it during the War of the Pacific.
The settlement earned recognition as a Typical Zone of Chile, reflecting the historical significance of its maritime and territorial legacy in South America.
The current fishing community maintains traditional maritime activities, focusing on seaweed harvesting and establishing their first fishermen's union in 2013.
Natural disasters, including an earthquake in 1868 and a tsunami in 1877, led to the gradual abandonment of this once-important Bolivian port.
