Nogales
South America is the fourth largest continent of the Western Hemisphere. It is divided politically into 12 independent countries namely Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela and the overseas department of French Guiana. The continent extends to 7,640 kilometers from Punta Gallinas, Colombia, in the north to Cape Horn, Chile, in the south. At its broadest point, near where it is crossed by the equator, the continent extends to 5,300 kilometers from east to west.
South America is connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama. It is washed on the north by the Caribbean Sea, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Topographically the continent is divided into three sections namely the South American cordillera, the interior lowlands, and the continental shield. Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion and Portuguese and Spanish are the primary languages of the continent.
Nogales is the municipality of Chile. The municipality of Nogales is formed by two districts namely the District of Nogales and the district of the Melon. The locality of the Melon is rich in mining deposits of copper and limestone. However, the limestone deposit is extracted by the Cemento company Melon, that takes the material to the city of the Limekiln, where is processed and commercialized, by means of a load train. This train traditionally receives the name of Lime dealer.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, cooperative people and luxurious hotels and cottages, Nogales is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
