El Chiflón del Diablo

El Chiflón del Diablo or The Devil's Blast (in reference to the natural draft that flows through the mine) is a mine located in Lota, Chile. After coal production fell in the Lo ta area in the 1990s, the mine was shut down.[1] Currently, El Chiflón del Diablo serves as tourist attraction.[2]
