Humberstone is located 52 km from Iquique. The correct name of the city is Oficina Santiago Humberstone, which was founded in 1862 and declared a national monument, but only since 1934 the city is known by the name Humberstone.
The business with the mining worked until the year 1960, when the company of this mineral drowned. The buildings here are maintained in good condition and allow you to admire the power and majesty of those buildings. An example is the theater around the square in which the seats are still visible, as well as a recently restored church. While walking along the arcades, a pool of iron and shadow areas, tennis courts, houses of former miners, a grocery store and a government can be seen.
