Antofagasta is a port city in northern Chile. It is located approx 1100 km (700 mi) north of the country's capital and largest city - Santiago. The city covers a total area of approx 31 km2 (12 mi2) and has a population of around 350,000.
Antofagasta is the capital city of Antofagasta Province and Region. Previously part of Bolivia, it was captured by Chile during the War of the Pacific (1879–1883), and the transfer of sovereignty was finished in 1904 Treaty of Peace & Friendship between the 2 countries.
The city of Antofagasta is linked to mining activity, as it's the country's major mining area. The last decade has had a steady growth in the regions of retail, construction, population growth, hotel accommodations, and remarkable skyline development.
