How to get in Copiapo from Santiago?

During my visit to Chile, which will last a bit longer, I would like to visit some smaller towns, which I would probably never include in my visit. So, I thought about visiting Santiago, and then Copiapo. Can somebody please tell me how to get in Copiapo from Santiago? Thank you very much for your hints and recommendations

A. I think you can easily get to Copiapo from Santiago by bus, which goes pretty regurally. I understand your wish to visit all the small places along the way; it is where the most beauty is. As for Copiapo, can tell you for sure – you won’t regret spending your time there, because the city is so beautiful. There is nothing really fascinating there, but there are several places which will give you unforgettable moments. One of them is Minerological Museum, with so many great things to see. Another one is The Plaza A. Pratt, a park located in the centre of the city, where you can spend several hours in the shade of wonderful trees.
