It's also worth noting that it can be combined with a tour of the Elqui Valley, which is probably the #1 tourist activity out of La Serena. Yeah, the Mamalluca trip is a good time.

Frigid nights make for the clearest skies. Best stargazing I’ve experienced was on a cold winter night in the mountains of Vermont. Frigid nights make for the clearest skies.

Im living in Christchurch right now, and am planning a weekend trip down to Tekapo in a few weeks just to go stargazing. Glad to know it's among the top places in the world to do this!

The Uintah mountains in Utah also aren't bad ( and they win for me because they are close ). I've watched the same Meteor shower there a few times ! JoAnna:
