Copiapo trip planner

Surrounded by the Atacama Desert, Copiapo receives very little rainfall and owes its existence to the mining industry. A tour of Copiapo reveals a settlement living more like a mining hub than a desert oasis. Still, ecotourism in Copiapo has become the main reason to visit, with natural attractions including volcanoes and the Pacific coast, located just 65 km (40 mi) to the west. Copiapo is in Atacama Region. Our Chile trip planner allows you to plan your trip to Copiapo and a wealth of other destinations big and small.
