Antofagasta

Escondida Copper Works
Coloso Beach
This was our last morning in Antofagasta before flying out to Lima (via Santiago naturally despite it being 2 hours in the wrong direction!) so Bron took us for a drive south to the Escondida Copper processing plant where BHP Billiton has a display centre. Also a beach where they occasionally come for a swim and a picnic. The landscape is so barren yet has a certain beauty that some of us can admire. Vultures cruised the sky looking for food and pelicans flew in formation as we drove along the coast. Antofagasta HillsAndes from the plane



In the afternoon we flew to Santiago and are now waiting for our flight to Lima.
