Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works: removed from the danger list

UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tarapacá Region, Chile

Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works are two former saltpeter refineries located in northern Chile. They were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, as a testament to the historical importance of saltpeter mining in Chile and the culture and social agenda that developed around it in the late 19th century.
