Greater La Serena, which includes La Serena and Coquimbo, is one of the fastest-growing areas of Chile and a main tourist destination, especially in the summer, when people come to the beaches. Traditional architecture includes houses and public buildings constructed with pine wood from Oregon. It was originally brought as ballast in ships coming to the port of Coquimbo to load copper and other minerals. This architecture based on pine and adobe has become the image of the city.
