Baquedano

The charming railway station of Baquedano, located in the heart of the Atacama Desert, was built to transport nitrate from the mines to the ports for export. Today, the station building has been converted into a museum that showcases the history of the railway lines built to improve the conditions of exploitation and export of nitrate. The museum is home to abandoned locomotives, rusty engines, and wooden houses that offer a glimpse into the past.
