Experience a journey to the stars in Chile! Observe constellations, planets, shooting stars and all manner of celestial bodies in the spectacular Chilean skies – the clearest in the entire southern hemisphere.
Chile enjoys more than 300 clear days per year and with little or no light pollution in the north, conditions are ideal for stargazing under open skies. For a truly close encounter with the planets, visit one of the many astronomical observatories open to visitors.
In La Serena, Elqui Valley, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta and Iquique you’ll find agencies which can arrange transport and accommodation and provide observation equipment for travelers.
If you’re a real astronomy fanatic, don’t miss the chance to visit some of the world’s leading scientific observatories. At sites like ALMA, Tololo and Paranal, you can witness the state-of-the-art technology used to investigate the universe.
Chile is the astronomy capital of the world, “the world’s eyes to the universe,” and is the ideal destination for observing the solar eclipses in 2019 and 2020.
When the moon passes between the earth and the sun, the different phases of the eclipse can be observed from our planet, showing how the sun is partially or totally hidden.
Visit Chile and enjoy this gift of nature in person. Learn more about the eclipse, where to enjoy this phenomenon, and astrotourism-related events in Chile at www.astroturismochile.cl
