Coquimbo

(Number of Articles Reads in Coquimbo: 22.491)

Located 12 km south of La Serena and 462 km north of Santiago, with a population of 144,900, this is the most important port of the region. It lies beside the coastal hills and has busy commercial districts.

The city is a source of legends and mysterious treasures, due to the fact that in past centuries it was attacked by pirates and privateers. It was founded on 5 May 1867.

You should visit the Plaza de Armas, Plaza Prat and Avenida Costanera, the Museum and the House of Culture and Tourism. To the south you will come to La Herradura beach, and to the north Los Hornos cove, Totoralillo Norte and El Temblador beach.

Coquimbo joins La Serena via Peñuelas, where you will find a games casino, places to eat, places to stay, and other attractions.
