Coquimbo

Tucked along the Pacific edge of Coquimbo Bay, Coquimbo is a port city whose character is shaped by northern Chile’s dry coastal climate. Its working harbour connects the waterfront with the fishing and maritime life that have long supported the city. The historic Barrio Inglés, developed during the port’s late-19th-century commercial expansion, retains a compact streetscape of older buildings and restaurants. Above the city stands the Cruz del Tercer Milenio, a monumental cross and a defining local landmark. South of the centre, La Herradura Bay adds a sheltered curve of coast, while neighbouring La Serena extends the urban area northward.
