🇨🇱 Copiapó, Chile

Copiapó is a city located in the Atacama Region of Chile. With a population of around 160,000, it is the capital of the Copiapó Province. While Copiapó is not directly on the coast, it is of interest to seafarers, shipowners, and crewing companies due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the ports of Caldera and Huasco, both within a short distance.
