Nitrate ghost town Chacabuco in Chile awakens slowly
Amador Ojeda and government workers revive the abandoned nitrate city 60 miles north of Antofagasta once home to 15 600 people. Chacabuco, a national monument since 1971, aims to save select buildings as funds allow while tour guides and historical booklets remain scarce.
