We will start our journey at sunset, heading towards the interior of the Elqui Valley. We will make a brief stop in the city of Vicuña, where the municipal offices are located to formalize our entrance to the Mamalluca Amateur Observatory.
We will continue our way to the Observatory by the northeast of the city, crossing the town of San Isidro. Here we will enjoy a pleasant night time where we will be able to contemplate the stars in this special place, open to all public, but intimate enough as it is subject to previous reservation.
Here we will have a talk on the Universe and the Stars of the Southern Hemisphere, along with a projection of images to better understand what we are about to experience. Then the moment we are waiting for will come: a nighttime observation of stars, planets and galaxies.
It will be a very special experience, since the Southern Hemisphere is particularly interesting astronomically, and most of the impressive observatories located in this area do not have public visits during the night, making it a unique place in the area.
After enjoying two hours of observation of the Universe, we will say goodbye to the facilities and start the return to our hotels in La Serena or Coquimbo.
