Humberstone and Santa Laura, the Atacama desert, Chile from Top 10 Ghost Towns

These two towns, placed in the northern Chile, used to be a main source of potassium nitrate, a crucial part of any pyrotechnic set. Both of them were abandoned in 1958. Well preserved buildings, houses, a swimming pool made of the bottom of the old ship, the hotel, shops with pricelists, as well as the theatre with the original seats can still be seen in these places.
