    The observation itself was beautiful. We were able to observe the stars, the moon, and several clusters of stars. The Tibetan bell bath was very relaxing. The only problem was that we are Italian and had a hard time understanding the explanation because the guide spoke very quickly, without enunciating clearly and without any translation.

La Serena is a charming city located along Chile’s Pacific coast. Known for its golden beaches, colonial architecture, and relaxed atmosphere, it’s a favorite destination for travelers looking to blend history with seaside leisure. With its palm-lined avenues, lively markets, and bustling promenade, the city offers a unique mix of tradition and modernity that captivates every visitor.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the 16th century, La Serena is one of Chile’s oldest cities. Over the years, it has preserved its colonial heritage, which can be seen in its elegant churches and classic stone buildings. Wandering its historic center feels like stepping back in time while still enjoying all the comforts of the present day.
