What to Know About Tamarugal
Key Facts
Tamarugal is a province located in the northern part of Chile's Tarapacá Region, situated in the heart of the Atacama Desert. This expansive province covers approximately 39,931 square kilometers of predominantly arid terrain, making it one of Chile's largest provinces by area while having a relatively sparse population of around 22,000 residents. Geographically positioned in the northwestern sector of Tarapacá, Tamarugal encompasses diverse landscapes ranging from the coastal Cordillera de la Costa to the high-altitude Andean plateau, with the iconic Pampa del Tamarugal giving the province its name. The province is administratively divided into five municipalities: Pozo Almonte (the provincial capital), Camiña, Colchane, Huara, and Pica, each offering unique characteristics from the oasis town of Pica to the border community of Colchane. Tamarugal's strategic location includes portions of the international border with Bolivia and serves as a crucial transit corridor between Chile's coast and neighboring countries. The province's economy historically relied on nitrate mining, though today it encompasses agriculture in its oasis areas, tourism centered on its unique desert landscapes, and cross-border trade activities.
