Some of the clearest skies on the planet, home to a cluster of the world's biggest observatories open for night tours, beaches with a persistent chill from the Humboldt current, and a pisco valley inland worth the detour.
The best time to visit La Serena is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 19°C (67°F).
