Coquimbo, Port city in northern Chile
The coastal municipality extends across 1,429 square kilometers around a natural harbor, featuring both urban development and maritime facilities at 15 meters elevation.
The Spanish colonization of Coquimbo began in 1550 when Pedro de Valdivia established control over the harbor area, previously inhabited by indigenous fishing communities.
The municipality has developed a strong maritime identity through its port activities, connecting Chilean naval operations with commercial shipping and local fishing traditions.
Visitors can access Coquimbo through the Pan-American Highway, which connects the city to Santiago, or via the primary north-south railway system.
The Third Millennium Cross stands as a central landmark, while the natural harbor formation provides one of Chile's most protected dock areas.
