El Salvador, Mining city in Diego de Almagro, Chile.
El Salvador stands at 2248 meters in the Atacama Desert, surrounded by mountain ranges and salt flats in northern Chile.
The copper mining operations started in 1959 when Anaconda Copper Mining Company established the industrial extraction after discovering substantial ore deposits.
The city holds the Cobresal football club, which plays at the 20,752-seat Copper Stadium, representing the local mining community in Chile's top division.
The city maintains various services including interprovincial bus connections, fuel stations, hotels, and regular flights through LAN airlines to major Chilean cities.
The urban layout of El Salvador follows the shape of a Roman helmet, resulting from an architect's inspiration by a toy found in the desert.
