Mid June to Mid July. Otherwise you are unable to drive because of the road closures when the winter sets in. However, you can watch it from a cruise ship if you are really interested.But to watch the heavens as it is, nothing like the Elqui valley in Chile. The ESO- VLT (Very Large Telescope) is there, but you cannot go at night unless you are an astronomy student. But there are other smaller facilities around.Even with the naked eye, what you see is fabulous. I cannot describe it because we see basically nothing in our part of the world. Pollution and light pollution.</blockquote>
