Observatorio Astronomico la Silla de Eso

Reviewed By Fabian030 - Berlin, Germany

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.

Plaza de Armas

This 450 year old, tree-shaded park is known locally as the Parque de Potos (Park of Bare Behinds), for its many nude greek statues.

Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States

We took a nice stroll thru this beautiful city plaza. In the center of the plaza is quite a nice fountain and pool with several statues. We were here on a Sunday and it was very quiet considering the unrest the area around it has experienced over the past few months with governmental protests. You can see splattered protest paint on most of the civic buildings, statues, banks and businesses around the square. Very said to see. BOTTOM LINE: I the plaza we say families enjoying time together. Some local vendors were selling items there also. The plaza is directly across from the La Serena Cathedral. Overall the square was nicely landscaped and was quietly patrolled by police officers. We thought is was very nice city park. MY RATING: 8/10.

Avenida del Mar

Sparkling beaches, hot hotels and local restaurants line this city street.

Reviewed By SIBARITA0305 - Santiago, Chile

Beautiful avenue that borders the ocean with a nice beach and great condominiums. It has great ambiance with its many bars and restaurants. Reminds you of Barra de Tijuca in Rio.
