Always isolated, silent on days when the wind is not too strong, calm when the earth is not shaking, arid for sure, Cerro Paranal invites you to take up more than one challenge on its immense ground, under its sky brimming with enigmas and stars. Passionate and caring, the men share their expertise and guarantee unfailing assistance. They grow as a team. To the technological excellence of our observation instruments, we add a meticulous work of adjustment, constant adaptation and anticipation. There’s also a dose of genius and generosity that can’t be ignored, right here, somewhere in the Universe.
