Countless astronomical observatories and a Mediterranean climate let visitors from around the world catch a unique glimpse of the universe, not to mention taste the region's grand crus and famous pisco brandy.
The Coquimbo region, also known as "star region", has extraordinary meteorological conditions, spectacular landscapes and clear nights. This combination is only found in a few parts of the world, and lets visitors see the infinite expanse of the night sky. On top of that, its Mediterranean climate lends itself well to the internationally recognized wine and pisco cultivation.
The valleys in this region are one of a kind: 40% of the world's infrastructure dedicated to space observation can be found here. There are even amateur observatories that open their doors to travelers looking for a view of the stars, constellations and astronomical events that can only be seen in the southern hemisphere. Take for example the total solar eclipse in Coquimbo on July 2, 2019, which only occurs every 500 years!
