Spend a day under the stars atop of a mountain: Believe me when I tell you that this experience was out of this world! Getting to view the stars on a high desert mountains with some of the best equipment I've ever seen- this was a total pleasure. The only drawback is that you can only visit at daytime due to the difficulty in reaching the observatory. The panoramic views offered by the institute make this visit worth everything and definitel...

An Attractive Place : The observatory closes at night, so I went only to the first gate, but even so it is worth visiting the route of the stars and go out to any road without public lighting and turn off the lights of the car. The stars jump to the eye, you can see many shooting stars, and the longer you stay in the place, but stars can be observed with the naked eye.

Refresh your senses with the variety of colors and aromas: Taking a walk through the market was so refreshing as you get to experience the daily activities of every buyer and seller on the block. Everything from the aroma of fruits, vegetables and spices to the variety of colors is very pleasing to eyes and nose. We even got to taste various cheeses, which were oh so good and we just had to get some for the road.

Admire exceptional artwork while taking a stroll: Got to admire admire Salvador Dali's amazing sculptures on a walk to the beach and it was worth it all. Not only did I get a close up view of them but I got to learn the value of true art and how important these pieces are to the locals because every sculpture is well-maintained.

THE BEST REVIEW

Nice Tourism Observatory: Very nice staff, I quite liked the presentation video. I found there was quite a bit of luminic contamination, from the nearby town of Andacollo, clearly visible from the observatory. I would have liked a more strict use of red light throughout the observatory, it was quite annoying to go from the dark to a well-lit hallway.

Very impressive architecture: Some of the best art pieces I have ever witnessed. There are so many spectacular pieces with such depth and insight that you have to stop and think for a while. I've learnt a lot about photography and art just by looking at the various techniques used to capture the essence of an image or an idea. Definitely recommended for those with an eye or interest for art.

A night under the stars: An excellent observatory for stargazing and enjoying an enlightening night under the moon. There were a variety of telescopes to choose from and with a knowledgeable tour guide, the experience gets even better since you know what you're doing. We even got to snap some great pictures through our telescope to take home.
