La Serena is heavily visited during the summer months, so to avoid the rush and cost increases attempt to visit outside those times. A perfect time to see the region is during desierto florido - when an array of rare flowers burst onto the desert scene - though it is impossible to plan on because it is not a usual occurrence as the perfect amount of moisture must be present. Reserva Natural Pingüino de Humboldt, Parque Nacional Nevado Tres Cruces or Ojos del Salado can be enjoyed year-round.
