Chile's northern regions contain some of the country's wildest scenery. The area's main feature is the Atacama desert, the world's driest; and there is spectacular high altitude volcanic and altiplano scenery to be discovered in the Lauca and Isluga National Parks on the Bolivian border. Most towns are found along the coast where fishing is a major industry; the desert is also noted for its geoglyphs and remains of nitrate mining towns.
High quality photographic prints with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints, greeting cards and other products are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details.

Santa Laura ghost town
The Atacama desert near Iquique was before World War I one of the world's major industrial areas and largest nitrate producing region. Abandoned since 1961, Santa Laura and nearby Humberstone have been declared UNESCO heritage sites and are some of the most interesting ghost towns in the region. This image shows the derelict nitrate processing plant at Santa Laura.
