Another must-do in Chile, not only for astronomers, and interested people. Very interesting tour for free, booked through the website of the VLT. You learn a lot about history, can visit inside one of the telescopes, get access to the control room, and if fortunate you can talk to one or more of the scientists around. Also a Great spot if you camp nearby and watch the telescopes, and lasers work at night.
