Humberstone ghost town
28 novembre 2017, Chili ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We started the guided tour at 12:30 pm. We were the only 2 people on the tour. It was fim listening to and trying to understand everything in Spanish. Eventually, the guide downloaded the description of the whole place in English and gave it to us to read before showing us the buildings about which we were reading.En savoir plus

Voyageur What's so special about this?

The Craze for Travelling The almost perfect preservation even after 50 years due to the dry climate. Plus it was the place that was providing 95% of the world's saltpeter at some point of time.

To Santa Laura

This small place was a working place with no residential accommodation. This is where the saltpeter was processed after extraction. The dry desert atmosphere has preserved all the buildings and machinery.En savoir plus

Voyageur Just imagine ,a Chemical engineer in 1885 ,very high level of education at that time & he must have his trained teachers also. Great it is.

Humberstone church and swimming pool
28 novembre 2017, Chili ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
There were remains of other major buildings like the church made from pine. This was a place for a lot of marriages just before the town was shut down since a lotta of men and women had been living together but wanted to get married so they could live together once they moved out of the town. There were the remains of the swimming pool as well. This had been made in an unusual style with iron planks riveted together and it even had a 3 level diving board. The water from the swimming pool was circulated within the campus for other usages.En savoir plus

For the entertainment of the employees, the town even had a theater with a capacity of 300 people. The benches and projector room from that time have been preserved. The stage too has been repaired to look how it was when it was functional.En savoir plus

Jour 36
Humberstone
26 juin 2019, Chili ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
In Iquique haben wir eine Tour zu den Salpeter Minen gebucht. Leider gab es die nur auf Spanisch, aber mittlerweile verstehen wir relativ viel. Wir besuchen die alten Fabriken, die mittlerweile am Zerfallen sind. Anschliessend geht es nach Humberston (Chumberton ausgesprochen), eine Minenstadt, die von den Engländern gebaut wurde und nun eine Geisterstadt ist. Auch hier zerfällt leider schon viel, aber wir können in fast jedes Gebäude rein und alte Gegenstände entdecken. Es gab ein kleines Krankenhaus, ein Kino, eine Schule und noch sehr viel mehr. Auch wenn wir nicht ganz alles verstehen, ist es sehr interessant und beeindruckend. Als Abschluss des Tages geht es noch in eine natürliche Thermalquelle. Wir hüpfen schnell ins Wasser und gönnen uns vor der Rückfahrt noch einen Pisco Sour.En savoir plus

Geoglyphen von Pintados, Chile
7 février 2017, Chili ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C
Pintados ist ein 400 Seelen Ort, der verlassen mitten in der Atacama Wüste, der trockensten Wüste auf unserem Erdball, in der Region Tarapacá liegt. Von hier aus fahren wir zu den Geoglypen aus der präkolumbianischen Zeit. Es ist nicht eindeutig klar, warum sie genau hier zu finden sind, wahrscheinlich sind sie eine Art Wegweiser für die Menschen, die nach Iquique wollten. Ein Drittel der Geoglyphen hier stellen geometrische Figuren dar, ein Drittel zeigen Tiere ( Fische, Vögel ) und das Letzte Drittel Menschen. Wir lernen die drei Konstruktionsmethoden kennen: Extraktive Methode bedeutet Entfernung des dunklen Wüstensandes, der helle Untergrund kommt hervor; Additive Methode bedeutet Steine wurden sortiert und gut plaziert zugefügt; "Mixed method"- von beiden etwas. Aufgrund des absolut trockenen Klimas sind die Jahrtausendealten "Steinmalereien" wunderbar erhalten.En savoir plus

Jour 59
Off from Pica
27 novembre 2017, Chili ⋅ 🌫 27 °C
Around 3 pm, we decided to go for lunch. We checked at the counter and were told that we could go out and come back on our tickets as long as it was within 2 hours. We went outside the thermas. Just across was a restaurant serving food. We went in with our wet swimming shots and barefoot/water sandals since we didn't want to change, dress up again and then change back again to swimming shorts. But that was ok in the heat of the day😉😎😎
We were back in the pool within an hour and then continued with the fun. By now, there were many more people in the pool. We went out at about 5:30 pm, picked up our laundry and then our bags at the hotel and were off.
The plan was to go towards Iquique and on the way see the geoglyphs of cerro pintados. Then just sleep any place along the highway when it gets dark. That way, we could see the Humberstone ghost town on the way back to Arica next day.En savoir plus

Facepacks on the guys
27 novembre 2017, Chili ⋅ 🌫 0 °C
Having nothing else to do till we get our laundry back at 5 pm, we decided to follow the locals and try the mud packs. We found some stones and started rubbing them on the rock inside the cave. We used the paste to cover our faces 😁En savoir plus

When we reached back near the parking, we found out that ot had been forbidden to walk on the track where we had been walking. There was am alternate road but that had been behind the locked building. We had no way of knowing it. In any case, coming into the locked compound couldn't have been a smaller breach than walking on this forbidden track.
We left the way we had come in and then were back on the pan America highway.En savoir plus

Voyageur Are these Geoglyphs maintained to protect from vagaries of weather? Are there any charges to view these?
05/12/2017Répondre
The Craze for Travelling Nope. Nothing to protect them. Its a bit hard to cover the whole hill. In any case, the weather is quite dry so it remains as it is.
05/12/2017Répondre
The Craze for Travelling Yes, there were charges for entry. Of course, we didn't have to pay anything 😉
