Baquedano is a small town located in northern Chile's Antofagasta Region, situated in the heart of the Atacama Desert. Originally established as a railway junction during Chile's nitrate mining era in the late 19th century, the town served as an important transportation hub connecting the mining regions with coastal ports. The town is named after Chilean military officer Fernando Baquedano.

While its historical significance is tied to the mining industry and railway system, today Baquedano stands as a testament to Chile's industrial heritage. The surrounding area features remnants of the once-thriving nitrate industry, including abandoned mining towns known as "ghost towns," which provide insights into the region's cultural and economic history.
