Antofagasta, Port city and mining center in northern Chile
Antofagasta spreads along the Pacific coast at the edge of the Atacama Desert, featuring a grid pattern of streets between the ocean and mountains.
Founded in 1868 as a Bolivian settlement, the city transferred to Chilean control in 1879 during the War of the Pacific after copper discoveries.
Students from the Universidad Católica del Norte and Universidad de Antofagasta contribute to the educational landscape of northern Chile's largest urban center.
The Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport connects the city with Santiago and other Chilean destinations through multiple daily flights.
The region produces more than half of Chile's copper output, with major mining operations at Chuquicamata and La Escondida near the city.
