3.Whales & Humboldt Penguins: Chañaral or Damas island hiking

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 10 reviews · 10 hours · from $280

10-hour boat and hiking day from La Serena to Isla Choros and Isla Damas for whales, Humboldt penguins, and coastal history.

“we did get to see 5 humboldt penguins. the journey was stretched out. on the way there we stopped for guanacas which was OK, on the way back we stopped so the guide could do personal business. Lunch was OK but unnecessary. the actual boat trip was about 3 hours total out of a supposed 10 hour trip which could have been completed in 5 hours.”

4.Milky Way Sanctuary Stargazing Tour at Pangue Observatory

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · 6 hours · from $225

A small-group stargazing night at Pangue Observatory in Chile’s Elqui Valley, using 16 and 25-inch telescopes to spot 10+ space objects.

“A bucket list experience—standing beneath the infinite canvas of the universe in a Dark Sky Sanctuary, witnessing the Milky Way. The vastness of space stretches beyond comprehension, humbling every worry, every ego, every fleeting moment. If you believe in God, it’s a breathtaking reminder of His serenity and grandeur. If you don’t, just pause… zoom out… and let the sheer scale of existence shift your perspective. We are but a speck, yet somehow, we are here. And that is incredible.”
