Observatório Mamalluca

Three observatories agree that Elqui valley is one of the cleanest in the world. Of the 3 observatories, this is the only one that is open to the public, with guided tours, about 2 hours, every night. Five kilometres from Vicuña, we will see a turning on the left (the sign is small), which shows us the way. From here go up 5km of unpaved road. If you arrive during the day, one thing you can do is see the whole valley. The view is worth it. Tickets for the tours are purchased in Vicuña, in the office of the Observatory, Calle Gabriela Mistral, next to the Torre Bauer.
