Getting from Calama airport to the city center

Calama is served by El Loa Airport (CJC), located approximately 3 km south of the city center. As the gateway to the Atacama Desert and San Pedro de Atacama, this airport handles both domestic flights and serves as a key transit point for travelers exploring northern Chile. Airport transfers to city center destinations are straightforward given the short distance, with options including taxis, shared shuttles, colectivos, and private transfers. Journey times are typically brief, though travelers continuing to San Pedro de Atacama should plan for an additional 100 km journey.

Notes:

  • Prices in CLP; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • El Loa Airport is small with limited public transport options; taxis and transfers are the primary modes.
  • Many travelers continue to San Pedro de Atacama (100 km east); separate shuttle services operate this route.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
