Attractions Around La Tirana
La Guaica
Founded in 1850, the town lies only a few kilometers from Pozo Almonte. Originally, it was surrounded by forests of Tamarugo trees, but these had to be felled because of the requirements of the nitrates mines in the sector. Nevertheless, the only remaining natural forests of Tamarugos and Carob trees may be seen in the surrounding area.
The splendor of La Guaica reached its peak in the period of the nitrates industry; now the town lies in ruins.
