You should visitthe Lighthouseatthe endof the avenue.Itisa little museumaboutthe Chilean
history;especially aboutthe eventsoccurred inthe place manyyearsago. Inthe back of the
lighthouse,there are several bigcannons; itisverycool tosee them!
There are several shoppingmallswhere we couldspendthe evenings. We canvisitthe biggest
shoppingcenterinthe town,Mall PlazaLa Serena.
You mustdo the Sea LionIslandTour.It is a small boatride where theytake you to see the local
