Coquimbo


Coquimbo is one of the Chilean regions, and it is located in the north-central part of the country. This part of the world is considered a ‘gate-away towards the beauty of the universe’ as its sky is among the cleanest and clearest on the whole planet’....

Knowing that, it is not a surprise that many observatories, as well as science laboratories, are placed here and that many planets, constellations and galaxies were firstly observed and found here. Of course, you should not miss what could potentially be one of the greatest experiences of your life: camping in the Elqui Valley on a clear night and just let the stars surprise you with their ever-shiny beauty. According to the locals, once you combine such an experience with a snack made of local papayas or papaya juice (the local succulent fruit that will tickle anyone’s appetite, even when not hungry), then you could really say to have experienced Coquimo at its very best.
