What a place! Extremely nice and such clear skies to watch the stars and the galaxies! Awesome! We enjoyed mountain-biking and some walk in the valley. The small village of Alcohuaz is highly recommended and as wine you must taste Rhu! Unique.

Great introduction, quite “private” tour in English, as we were the only “English only” speaking people, and some great encounters with very friendly, and helpful astronomers who were angeraint your questions even in detail. That was a great tour we took here.

Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States
The exterior of this moderate Cathedral is currently in the midst of having its exterior restored, Even with that happening, we loved stopping here on a Sunday to take a quick look of the interior. It is not over-the-top like many European Cathedrals but is more simple, yet beautiful. It features many gorgeous stained glass windows. BOTTOM LINE: This church is easy to find because it is located directly across the street from the main city plaza, Plaza de Armas. The construction began on this church in 1844 and dedicated twelve years later. The massive front doors are amazing. The Cathedral is named after San Bartolome who is the patron saint of La Serena. MY RATING: 8/10

A fantastic little farm just outside of La Serena, where you can go camping, have a barbecue, see farm animals, go on horse rides and relax in the Valley Elqui. We also sell goat cheese and other farm products.

Barrio Patrimonial is an important part of the heritage of the Typical Zone of La Serena city. Formed in 1544 when the first Spaniards arrived in that territory. In 1981 it was declared a Typical Zone by the Council of National Monuments. Currently has an interesting commercial and gastronomic offer as well as cultural.
