About Calama
Calama is a city on the Loa River in the Antofagasta region in northern Chile. Set in a mining area, it's known as a gateway to the Atacama Desert. Just north, Chuquicamata is a vast open-pit copper mine. Chiu Chiu, a village near Calama, is home to a 17th-century adobe church. Southeast, Valle de la Luna, in Los Flamencos National Reserve, has a moonlike landscape of mountains and distinctive rock formations.
