Due to the conditions of our micro-climate we have the world`s clearest skies. Therefore you will find various of the most famous scientific observatories here in this region.

If you want to watch the millions of stars, galaxies and constellations our our Southern Hemisphere, you only have to get a bit away from the lights of the village.

There are different options to observe the skies:
You can for example enjoy a horse riding trip to watch the miracles of the night, you can walk or use your car or you can also take some of the possibilities offered by our agencies.

Another option is a visit at the " Mamalluca" observatory in Vicuña. This observatory offers tours at night for the curious or lovers of the night sky. You can get there in your own car or with a tour offered by an agency.
