Alternative Activities
For those that do not participate in the telescope tours, we recommend these alternative activities:
- Valle de Elqui tours: visit the Pisco Elqui town and a pisco distillery
- Trip to Punta de Choros: take a boat tour to the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve where you can see penguins, dolphins and whales.
These tours must be self-organized and they are offered by most tourist agencies.
