Some #TravelPhotography from #OnThisDay in 2019. Three years to the day after leaving #Chile for the first time we were back for the start of a new trip up the South and Central American coast, and the first day took us from #Coquimbo to the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. This photo is of the Victor M. Blanco 4-metre telescope that was one of two telescopes we popped inside and had a tour of.
