Calama is a city in northern Chile, located in the Atacama Desert at about 1,500 meters above sea level. It's a key mining hub, primarily for copper, with nearby Chuquicamata Mine being one of the world's largest open-pit copper mines. Attractions include the stunning Salar de Atacama and the Valle de la Luna, known for its lunar landscapes. Calama has various accommodations and dining options. The city experiences an arid climate with hot days and cold nights, offering a unique desert experience.
