Huasco, Port city in Atacama Region, Chile
The port city extends along the Pacific coast at the mouth of the Huasco River, featuring a downtown area with traditional architecture and warehouses.
Between 1851 and 1873, the port of Huasco served as a key shipping point for copper ore and alpaca wool transport to Wales across Cape Horn.
The municipal governance system includes a council with an alcalde, representing local democratic traditions within Chile's administrative structure.
The city provides various accommodation options, including Hostal 2002 and Hostal Pelantaru, along with multiple restaurants serving regional dishes.
The northern beaches of Huasco connect to Llanos de Challe National Park through a coastal route that starts at Huasco Bajo.
