Port of Valparaiso

The second-most significant port in Chile, Valparaiso Port, popularly known as the “Jewel of the Pacific,” is located in the country’s center region, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As a port of call for ships traversing the Magellan Strait to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific, it achieved an important place in the world’s marine trade throughout the 19th century. However, as ships began using the shorter route after the Panama Canal was built, there was a decrease in the amount of shipping.

Shipping to Italy
Port of Arica

Arica, one of the major Chilean ports, is located on the Pacific coast of northern Chile just a few kilometers from the Peruvian border. Since it exports agricultural products from the Azapa and Rio Lluta valleys, including olives and citrus fruits, it is essential to the local economy. Additionally, it serves as a transhipment port for Bolivia as well as a free port for Argentina, Peru, and Brazil. It serves as the main business hub for northern Chile and is connected by roads and trains to all of the major cities in the country.
