The construction of the observatory dates back to 2004.

In the last decades, Chile has become a leading country in the field of astronomy. The climatological and geographic characteristics of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, which ensure the clarity of its skies, added to the high Andean mountain range provide unique conditions on Earth. In addition to this, it has the privileged southern sky that allows to observe many important objects at astronomical level, such as the center of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, among others.

Branch off to one of the world's most important radio observatories, the Atacama Large Milimeter Array ("ALMA"). You can not get closer, but you can not get any closer!
