Calama Things to See and Do
follow us
Calama is often a quick stopover for those on their way to San Pedro de Atacama. But while in town be sure to check out the copper-roofed Catedral San Juan Bautista - it is one of many testaments to the importance of the town’s favorite metal. Parque El Loa is neat and is home to the Museo Arqueológico and Etnológico.
