Caldera is a charming coastal town in northern Chile, known for its beautiful beaches, rich marine life, and relaxed atmosphere. This destination invites visitors to explore hidden coves, taste fresh seafood, and discover the natural beauty of the Atacama Desert meeting the Pacific Ocean.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the mid-19th century, Caldera became a key port for shipping minerals from the Atacama region. Its historical railway, the first in Chile, made it a pioneer of progress in its era. Today, traces of its fascinating heritage can still be seen along its streets and old railway station.

When to Visit

The town enjoys a mild, dry desert climate year-round. Summer, from December to March, is warm and perfect for beach lovers, while the cooler months bring fewer crowds and gentle breezes, ideal for relaxing walks and exploring the surroundings.

What are the must-see attractions?

The pristine Bahía Inglesa beach, the unique salt cathedral, and the vibrant local fish market are just a few of the highlights awaiting visitors. Boat tours offer a chance to spot dolphins and seals along the rugged coastline.

Can I try local cuisine?

Absolutely! Caldera's restaurants serve up some of Chile's freshest seafood, from ceviche to grilled fish, often enjoyed with a view of the bay.
