Copiapó is a city in northern Chile and the capital of the Atacama Region. Located in the Copiapó River valley, the city has deep historical roots in mining, particularly copper and silver, dating back to the colonial period. The surrounding Atacama Desert, one of the driest in the world, has shaped the city's development and culture.
Copiapó gained international attention in 2010 when the nearby San José copper-gold mine was the site of the dramatic rescue of 33 miners. The city preserves its mining heritage through various cultural institutions and maintains important archaeological sites from pre-Columbian cultures. The area's clear skies and minimal light pollution have also made it an important location for astronomical observation, contributing to Chile's significant role in astronomical research.
