Cerro de la cruz — photo spot in Copiapó, Atacama, Chile
Cerro de la cruz
Small hill crowned by a large cross that overlooks Copiapó, the valley and distant Andean ridges. Clear Atacama skies give crisp light — best at golden hour or blue hour for silhouettes, city-lights and long vistas. Easy to reach by short walk/drive from town; limited roadside parking. No entry fee; culturally visited as a local lookout and pilgrimage spot. Expect strong sun midday and chilly winds after sunset.
