A place

My big brother lives in Coquimbo since 10 years ago, so I visit him on summer vacations. In February 2012, we visited Mamalluca observatory placed in Vicuña, Coquimbo. It was the most exciting experience I have ever had.

The tour guides showed us the star positions and constellations, and we used a telescope to saw the moon, the planets Mars and Saturn. The sky was so clean and the stars so shiny, that I still remember that beautiful view. We didn’t even need the telescope to saw the Milky Way above of us. I felt so little beneath the vastness of the star-filled sky. It was so cold there because of the altitude, but I felt so warm because of the experience.

I like this place because it remembers me that out there exists so much wonderful things that I didn’t even know existed. It’s just amazing.

I really want to go again, and I must admit that is my favorite place in the whole world (for now).
