Review:
Leoncito Astronomical Complex is the second of two astronomical observatories located within El Leoncito National Park in Argentina's San Juan Province. The observatory was originally established in 1983 by Argentina's National Scientific and Technical Research Council in conjunction with the country's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation and the National Universities of San Juan, La Plata, and Córdoba. Since 1987, it has offered public and private observatory facilities located within two separate regions of the national park. Jorge Sahade and Submillimeter telescopes are available for use near the Pampa de la Ciénaga del Medio, while Helen Sawyer Hogg and Ghielimetti telescopes are available for use on Cerro Burek, along with an Astrograph for the Southern Hemisphere.
