Tierra Amarilla (means: Yellow Earth)

Tierra Amarilla is located some 20 km south of Copiapó. It has been a mining center for many years and preserves a very particular mining style in its streets. A beautiful square, shops, bars and restaurants invite you to relax.

Introduction, location:
Tierra Amarilla is located about 20 kilometers southeast of Copiapó. It is a city with a long mining history located in the Copiapó River valley near several important copper deposits. The Candelaria Mine, Punta de Cobre and Ojos del Salado Mine are currently to be named.
A stroll through Tierra Amarilla is probably the best way to understand the beginning of the industrialization era in Atacama.
The neo-Gothic church was built in 1904. It is located in the center, in front of the square.

The mining history of the small town is strongly visible throughout the downtown area. The urban development was clearly oriented along the axis of the road into the valley.
