Nope, it's not Chuquicamata.

The link is just to a photo, no coordinates. So this is actually Sandro's game, and the object is to find either the coordinates or (equivalently, since it's in Wikimapia) the name of what's in the picture.

It looks like one of those spiral coin drop (http://www.spiralwishingwells.com/toy/index.html) games.

How large would the penny be for that?

Could you use it as a radio dish like Arecibo?

Yup! And nice links. Congrats also to [livejournal.com profile] scliff (who was the first to get it), [livejournal.com profile] hotpoint, and [livejournal.com profile] kirkcudbright.
