With more than 300 cloudless nights each year, northern Chile is one of the world’s premier destinations for stargazing. The Atacama Desert is renowned for having the clearest night skies in the southern hemisphere and is home to over 40 observatories, many of which are open to visitors. Stargazing tours are widely available in destinations such as La Serena, the Elqui Valley, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta and Iquique. 6.

offer so many places that remain largely untouched by human activity. 10. Chile: a world tour in one country Thanks to its dramatic contrasts and breadth of experiences, travelling through Chile feels like embarking on a world tour within a single nation.

heritage, few destinations offer such diversity in one journey.
