	Coquimbo Region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CL-CO Coquimbo is Chile's fourth administrative region from north to south.
		Coquimbo, a seaport with a greater industrial base than La Serena, is also a beach resort; generally regarded as grittier, and therefore less attractive for recreational purposes, it has undergone significant urban renewal projects in recent years and as a result it has seen an increase in tourism.
		The Coquimbo region forms the narrowest part, or 'waist' of Chile, and is hence one of the country's more mountainous regions, as the Andes range runs closer to the sea than elsewhere.

	Chile: Spacecraft Seen in Panul Region?
		Yesterday, we wished to collect new eyewitness accounts in the same area, but it is evident that people are feeling panic, or at least fear of being ridiculed and criticised by their nearest and dearest.
		At first we are told no, that the witnesses aren't home, that they themselves haven't seen anything, that it's all just tall tales...but they begin to relax when they realize that spreading doubt isn't healthy either.
		A pair of local residents who live on a property that serves as a repair shop at the edge of the highway told us that they have indeed seen strange things, and that they themselves saw some sort of flying saucer.

		Carrizalillo is located in the pre-Cordillera of Copiapo, in the Atacama Region of northern Chile.
		Carrizalillo is located along a belt of Paleocene-early Eocene volcanic (and plutonic) rocks which extends from southern Peru to the Coquimbo region in Chile.
		A further strong emphasis should be placed in re-considering the various alteration zones existing in the rims and crosscutting major features that characterize the Paleocene volcanic field (specially leached silica ridges related to dacitic domes) east from Copiapo, in the context of hosting blind to semi-blind structural high sulfidation targets as well.
