Itinerary

The dry weather and the most of 300 sunny days in the Elqui Valley, promote the conditions for the astronomical observation in clean sky. The mountains allow the telescope installation in higher ground, away from the light pollution, and in the middle of the beauty of the place.
Departure from your hotel in La Serena heading to Vicuña in order to get the Cerro Mamalluca Observatory. Welcome with an astronomical lecture with videos. After that, we will enjoy the stars, planets and nebula gazing with instruments such as the Telescope 12’ with 40-centimeter primary mirror Meade Ix-200, eyeglasses super Prölss and others.
After two and a half hours, return to La Serena.
