The mine remains closed for visits. We were very disappointed because we tried to contact the mine by email and by phone and there was no response at all. It would only be fair if there had been a recorded message on the phone telling you the visits had been suspended and also an automatic message on the email because there is nothing else to do for tourists in Calama and it's an expensive city.

Coming from Bolivia's mountain Deserts and traditional places, it is as if you return to 'civilization'. Lots of goods to get, though at a high price. Did most of my shopping at the nearby reasonably priced Jumbo supermarket. Still the mall is nice to splurge on coffee and chocolate.

My brother and I ( both more than 70 years old) toured many sites with Silvia including Chiu Chiu, Caspana, Ayquina, Pukara de Turi, the Pukara of Lasana, and the Inca Coyo all in one day.

The Casino machines and attractions are ok. The service at the bar is terrible. The staff have no skills as bartenders, and they don't even know what are drinks they sell. No clue on how to prepare very basic drinks, even they have some prepared bases hidden under the bar, the outcome is poor. I have never seen the same faces, so it seems they keep hiring cheap personnel.

in terms of sight-seeing there is not much to do in Calama: it´s either dessert tour or shopping. This church (cathedral sounds like a lot more) is a small sight that you can take a quick look at - some 10-15min tops. Nothing special, but at least it is "different".

Reviewed By Maria Rosa G - San Jose de Maipo, Chile
Está a orillas del camino internacional a Ollagüe (21 CH) y se le considera hijo del Volcán San Pedro ya que se formó por una erupción subterránea de éste . No está cerca del pueblo San Pedro de Atacama. Más cerca de Conchi. Es de material de escoria negra y no tiene más de 150 metros de altura. Viví 14 años en la zona y sé de lo que escribo....

Qué lindo quedó este estadio.
Primera vez que visito Calama y veía al glorioso Cobreloa de los 80 por TV en el estadio antiguo.
Remozado, quedó impecable. Lástima que ahora el club no esté a la altura del magnífico recinto deportivo.

Uno de los tantos espacios públicos que reinvindican la dignidad de las víctimas ejecutadas y desaparecidas de la horrorosa dictadura militar en Chile, en este caso con la fatídica Caravana de la Muerte que pasó por el norte del país. Sencillo espacio construido para la reflexión y memoria de los desaparecidos. Fácil localizar saliendo de la ciudad de Calama.

I purchased two tickets through KTUR's website for my parents on Saturday.They went to use them today only to find out that this company has closed its doors for business but continue to collect money through online ticket sales. They have close their doors at their store front location and they won't return nor answer calls either. According to locals they have been closed for business for some time but continue to sell tickets online to scam foreigners. DO NOT BUY TICKETS from them online! My parents will now have to engage VISA to get their money back. Luckily there are other buses that regularly leave San Pedro de Atacama for Calama on a regular basis. No need to purchase tickets online from any company, wait until you are there to purchase your tickets in person to avoid this types of situations.

Nice park to walk around if you are bored of the centre. There are two nice old towers where you can walk on the top to see a nice view. Lot of kids playing around and people doing sports. I think you also can barbecue there under special picnic tables.
