18745 San Pedro           Discovered 1999 Jan. 23 by the OCA-DLR Asteroid Survey at Caussols.
San Pedro de Atacama, a town in Chile's region II, was inhabited by the Likan Antay population for thousands of years. Famous for its beautiful natural sites, it is now one of the most visited places in the country. The ALMA observatory and many other astronomical projects will be soon installed near San Pedro.
