Lota trip planner

Situated just 39 km (24 mi) south of Concepcion, the city of Lota grew with the coal mining industry in the middle of the 19th century. Nationalized under Salvador Allende, then privatized again by dictator Augusto Pinochet, the mines were finally closed in the 1990s. The modern city has attempted to diversify its economy, with a growing number of attractions in Lota, and a developing tourism infrastructure. The mines now operate as a walkthrough museum, well-designed public parks highlight Lota's natural features, and local heritage museums reveal the history of the region and its people. Lota is in Greater Concepcion.
