La Serena

La Serena was a restful spot on our way down south. It’s strong points: cheap airfare from San Pedro (exceptionally), Elqui Valley (important pisco production region) and astronomical observatories (we visited Mamalluca).

Elqui was probably prettier under the sun but the wines and pisco and the hitchhiking were really good. We enjoyed the beach, observatory and city as well.

La Serena a fost o oprire de odihna in drumul nostru spre sud. Principalele avantaje: bilet de avion ieftin din San Pedro, valea Elqui (cea mai importanta zona de productie a piscoului in Chile) si observatoare astronomice (am vazut Mamalluca).

Elqui ar fi fost probabil mai frumoasa sub soare dar vinul, piscoul si autostopul au fost foarte placute. Ne-a placut plaja, orasul si observatorul.
