Salamanca

Few towns in Coquimbo Region have a history as closely tied to the farming and mining of the Choapa Valley as Salamanca. The town stands beside the Choapa River in Chile’s dry north-central interior, where irrigated land supports orchards, vineyards and other crops. Salamanca is also the principal urban centre of its commune, whose territory includes the Los Pelambres copper mine, one of Chile’s major mining operations. This meeting of river agriculture and large-scale mining gives the town a distinctly working character within the wider Choapa Province.
