Part of a worldwide network of observatories exploring the universe. Guided tours available to the public. The unique location with clear skies and low light pollution makes it an envy of astronomers from other countries.

Great experience. Guide spoke some english so that helped. Fun staying overnight.
Very nice place in a nature park. Night sky is here just spectacular! For stargazers - sky brightness without the Moon is ca 22 mag/arcsec2! During the day it can be often seen nandus, guanacos and other animals.
It's a good place to visit ito learn about how astroficisist work and how an obserbatory works. We were even lucky enough that they were moving the telescope and we saw it working.
Back on Sunday, January 8, 2017, I visited the other very important observatory out in Calingasta, San Juan Argentina known as CASLEO or Observatorio Astronomico El Leoncito. This observatory is Not as easy to visit as the Felix Aguilar Observatory also known as CESCO because they go by reservations and only a limited amount of persons are allowed to attend. I was very lucky to attend their observatory and during my visit, I met with Claudia Alamo who gave me a very nice lecture and tour of the facilities. During my visit about 10 other persons or so and myself had the opportunity to see the Moon and other stars as well! The experience for ME was incredible because it is one of my first times that I had ever seen the Moon so close and even got pictures of it with my Android. I personally want to thank Claudia Alamo for the wonderful tour and Camilo the Dog for keeping me warm up there because it was quite windy during my visit.

Muy lindo lugar. Excelente atencion. En 4 noches nunca nos cambiaron toallas ni hubo servicio del cuarto.
Creo que la visita nocturna debe ser lo ideal.en la diurna solo puede verse el lugar,la cúpula cuando se abre y algunas explicaciones técnicas del encargado de atender al visitante! Igualmente vale la pena recorrer el parque el Leoncito! En el observatorio de la base del cerro es muy pobre la explicación del encargado! Un poco decepcionada y lamento no haber averiguado más para hacer la visita nocturna!
Un lugar increíble con una vista única dentro del PN Leoncito que vale la pena visitar
