Meteorite Museum
I don't know why this place isn't more famous. I only knew about it because I saw a sign on the street, and I just followed it. I ended up in a small dome with an unimaginable amount of knowledge and history.
This museum tells you the story of the universe and humanity through different kinds of meteorites found in the Atacama Desert. I was speechless. It was just amazing.
You can touch different kinds of them, some of them extremely rare and I just couldn't stop thinking that the thing I had in my hand was thousands of years old and came from very far away.
I have been in several museums in different places of the world and this one was by far one of the coolests. And I can't believe that it was in a small town in my own country.
PD: You can buy pieces of meteorites too, they are pretty expensive but I think it might be worth it!
