An observatory to shake!

Construction began on the Pierre Auger Observatory ten years ago in Malargüe, a city of 26,000 inhabitants in the desert plains of western Argentina, at the foot of the Andes mountain range. Since then, the lives of the people who live there have changed a lot.

Hotel owners and waiters suddenly had to deal with a bunch of non-Spanish speaking scientists. To solve the problem, the city hall opened an English school, which already has 500 students.

Many tourists, who disembark at Malargüe airport and neighboring San Rafael to enjoy the snow from the ski resorts and the nature of the region, end up visiting the observatory, which is very beautiful.
