Set your expectations for this one. You get to look through some powerful telescopes but you're not going to see anything mind blowing. Just sort of an amplified view of what you see in the sky. The English guide was great and knowledgeable and gave a full tour but my group had a good twenty or so people, some who clearly were just doing the tourist thing and didn't really care and you have to wait your turn to look through the telescope. So if you don't like crowds and prefer a more personal, unique experience, I wouldn't say Mamalluca gives you that. If you're in La Serena anyway, it's cheap and easy enough to go (through a tour operator) but not worth a trip specifically for it from, say, Santiago. Also, small point, but it would be nice if they had a souvenir store of some sort.
