Vallenar is in the Atacama Region, in the Norte Chico, between the desert and central Chile: transverse valleys with pisco, grapes and avocados, beaches that are packed in summer, clear skies that attract astronomical observatories and, after rainy winters, the flowering desert (desierto florido). Atacama gives its name to the driest desert in the world and lives on mining: Copiapó is its capital, Caldera and Bahía Inglesa have turquoise-water beaches, and in rainy years the flowering desert (desierto florido) covers the plains in colour. Chilean addresses give the street and number first, sometimes with the flat ("depto.") or office ("of."), followed by the comuna, as in "Av. Providencia 1234, depto. 501, Providencia"; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.
