Andacollo, Mining commune in Elqui Province, Chile.
The city of Andacollo stands at 1017 meters elevation in northern Chile, surrounded by copper mines and mountain landscapes of the Coquimbo Region.
Founded in 1891, Andacollo emerged from ancient mining activities, with evidence suggesting Inca involvement in establishing the initial settlement for copper extraction.
The Basilica of Andacollo houses the Black Madonna statue, drawing thousands of pilgrims for religious celebrations from December 24 to December 26.
Visitors can reach Andacollo through regional roads connecting to nearby cities of Vicuña and Ovalle, with local accommodations available near the central plaza.
