Chilean city
About Caldera
It has a harbor protected by breakwaters, being the port city for the productive mining district centering on Copiapó to which it is connected by the first railway constructed in Chile. Mainstays of the economy are copper ore mining and cultivation of citrus plants which are exported from the port. Fishing and tourism also play an important role. The beaches attract many visitors. The climate is mostly warm and extremely dry, because of its location on the Atacama desert's coast, but the temperatures are moderated by the cooling sea currents. However, the climate has become colder because of climate change.
