Tocopilla, Port city in northern Antofagasta Region, Chile
The coastal municipality extends along the Pacific Ocean with thermoelectric plants and a large commercial port handling mineral exports.
The settlement originated in 1843 as a shipping point for copper from inland mines, later expanding into a major industrial port for nitrate exports.
The main street features the annual September 29 celebration with regional food, music performances, and community gatherings near Covadonga Beach.
Tocopilla connects to the Pan-American Highway and maintains an airport, offering transport links to Chile's main mining regions.
The city houses two artificial beaches, Covadonga and Caleta Boy, separated by industrial facilities that divide the urban area in two sections.
