'''Chacabuco''' is one of the many abandoned [[nitrate]] or "saltpeter" towns ("oficinas salitreras" in Spanish) in the [[Atacama Desert]] of northern [[Chile]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=Ghost Towns of the Atacama|url=http://www.moon.com/blogs/south-america/ghost-towns-the-atacama|publisher=Moon Travel Guides}}</ref> Other nitrate towns of the Atacama Desert include [[Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works]]. Unlike most of the other ghost towns in the Atacama Desert, Chacabuco became a concentration camp during the [[Pinochet]] regime in 1973. To this day, it remains surrounded by approximately 98 lost [[landmines]], left by the Chilean military when Chacabuco was used as a prison camp.
