    Crazy how quickly abandoned places get run down and degraded - not even 30 yrs if it closed in 1996.

    Now that's some hardcore commitment to urban exploration right there: homie sees a ghost town in the opposite extreme of the continent via Google Earth and his response is to fly there, then drive an untold amount of hours through the driest biome of this planet to visit an abandoned town contaminated with lung-killing pathogens. I salute you for your determination. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

    Thanks for the video. Very very good and informative. I've visited Pedro de Valdivia and other "Oficinas Salitreras" (Nitrate Offices). When I was in Pedro de Valdivia (2006), still the industrial sector was in activity, with many workers, trucks and mine trains, with electric locomotives. ¿Did you notice the PCC Car bodywork in minute 24:17 to 24:20 in this video?... that were an special kind of tramways brought from USA to serve as workers transport. I saw that kind of PCC tram bodyworks used as store of all kind of things, also in "María Elena", another ghost town near Pedro de Valdivia. Congratulations! Can´t for the next part of the video.

    Hello Bob! Pedro de Valdivia was a beautiful place to live, even with the inclement weather, life was quiet: there was no crime, there was no drug addiction, there were no homeless people. And if! The heat may have been stifling at many hours of the day, but that never stopped us from playing a soccer game in the middle of the desert. At night there were basketball and volleyball championships as well. We played explorers, traveling great distances in the desert... I don't know how we were able to withstand that level of solar radiation without harming ourselves. Excellent video, it filled me with beautiful memories...

    I really enjoy these type of places. I think of the first person that stepped on that land to build and all of the people that made their lives there. And I think of the last person that left and were heartbroken because their lives had changed in a possibly bad way. Not knowing what the future will be. History has a way of making its way back to us. Thank you for these videos you are making. Those of us who can not make such a long journey. You are appreciated.

    The "Otro Lado" at Pedro de Valdivia would have been more for the British Resident's, (NOT American at all) There were few supervisor of other nationalities'. Many of the British national supervisors that worked at Potrerillos were people that had left their jobs with the Anglo-Chilean Nitrate Co and came to new copper mine close by.

    how great that yor're in Latin America!! In Mendoza, Argentina, on the road to Chile, there`s an old abandoned thermal hotel called Puente del Inca that is so mysterious. It would be amazing if you could go, but I think it's quite dangerous cause it`s kindof on the cliff of a mountain. don't know how you could access. but you could check it out! you're not far.

The thing here in South America is that it's quite difficult to find well preserved places or stopped in time like you did in Japan, China or Egypt. People will generally sell their stuff or it will get looted. But I guess you can find some hidden treasure out there💛

I hope you can visit another salitreras too, and some abandoned railroad workshops, like in Llanta and Barquito near Chañaral, and if you can, try to go to Sewell, but for that one you need to go with a tourism agency, because the road is used to go to the mines near there, so is quite vigilated.
