We know that Chile has the cleanest skies in the world for astronomical observation and that is why more than 40% of the world's infrastructure is located in our country. This advantage allows us a privileged view of the starry sky even with the naked eye.
Throughout the country there are 13 observatories open to the general public, in addition to more than 30 dedicated to tourism. In all of them you can live quality tourist experiences, interesting and attractive to visitors. In regions, the IV Region of Coquimbo offers the most astro-tourism panoramas, followed by the Metropolitan Region and to a lesser extent Valparaíso, Biobío, Antofagasta, Atacama and Maule.
The north, due to its clear skies practically all year round - especially places like the Elqui Valley - is the favorite place for astronomical observation, which is also combined with other activities such as trekking, astrophotography and even gastronomy, with dinners under the starry night. The favorable climate of this area also allows for astro-tourism at any time of the year.
On the other hand, in the surroundings of Santiago, we find observatories open to the public in San José de Maipo and Farellones. Due to their location next to the mountain, they offer the possibility of a high quality observation, without light pollution and with great clarity of the sky. At the Andean Astronomical Observatory, in Farellones, you can use specialized equipment such as telescopes and binoculars.
For those who want to know more about this entertaining activity, a free seminar "Lights and Shadows of Astrotourism in Chile" will be held on October 18 at the Auditorium of Inacap Sede Apoquindo (Avenida Apoquindo 7282, Las Condes), where the opportunities and challenges of this type of tourism in our country will be analyzed, which every day has more fans and is expected to increase to 750 thousand visitors by the year 2025.
