Tour Description
We will start our adventure at sunset, venturing into the Elqui Valley. Our first stop will be in the city of Vicuña, where we will visit the municipal offices to register our entry to the Mamalluca Amateur Observatory.
Our journey will continue to the Observatory located northeast of the city, passing through the charming town of San Isidro. Here, we will enjoy a delightful evening under the stars in this unique setting, which is accessible to the public yet intimate enough to require prior reservations.
During our visit, we will attend an engaging talk about the Universe and the stars of the Southern Hemisphere, complemented by a slideshow to enhance our understanding of the celestial wonders we are about to witness. The highlight of the evening will be a nighttime observation of stars, planets, and galaxies.
This will be a truly exceptional experience, as the Southern Hemisphere offers fascinating astronomical sights, and most of the impressive observatories in this region are not open to the public at night, making this a rare opportunity.
After two hours of gazing at the Universe, we will bid farewell to the observatory and begin our journey back to our accommodations in La Serena or Coquimbo.
