Bellavista is an iron mine in Atacama Region, Chile. It lies 2 km northeast of the Cerro Imán iron mine and is part of a wider geological region and mining district known as the Chilean Iron Belt. The mine was operated by Santa Fe Mining under a lease agreement until it was paralyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile in 2021 and its lease was then prematurely ended.[1][2] The mine has been mentioned in 2011 by CAP as the first new user of the mining port of Punta Totoralillo after the expansion of the said port.[3][4]
