6 reviews of Lota

you could smell their poverty

When I discovered this village, it still revolved around the business of lota ore, and its people overran the streets and fields, where women would gather on a public utility to chat and try to make their lives a little more pleasant, as you could smell their poverty, it smelled of scented sea salt and coal.

Petite ville figée au bord du Pacifique, elle ne vit plus désormais que de son grand port, elle qui avait pourtant une mine de carbone des plus prolifiques du pays au siècle dernier. Cette perte se voit sur le visage des gens, pauvres, tristes, gris, comme la ville un jour d'automne. C'est peut-être aussi ce qui fait son charme ? Dans tous les cas, s'y arrêter une nuit pour découvrir un pan du Chili vraiment pittoresque et visiter la mine transformée en musée semble impératif.
Frozen small town on the Pacific coast, it lives longer than its large port, yet she had a wealth of carbon most prolific countries in the last century. This loss can be seen on the faces of people, poor, sad, gray, as the city on an autumn day. This is perhaps what makes it so charming? In any case, stop there one night to discover a piece of Chile really picturesque and visit the mine turned into a museum seems imperative.

Strolling through the city you can see the pavilions in Lota Alto that are part of the history of how it was formerly lived and laundries for which they fought to be able to use them

Son parte de la historia de como se vivía antiguamente y lavaderos por los que se peleaban para poder utilizarlos, en el centro de la ciudad esta la clásica plaza y sus ferias donde venden pescada ahumada, remadoras y el clásico y exquisito pan amasado lotino.
