Talk about an answer with zero informational content...

If I were considering a site to build an observatory, I would take a
good look at West Texas or perhaps higher elevations in New Mexico. I
would never consider a site outside of the USA. A mountaintop in Peru
might seem a good choice, until one considers the political situation
in that country. Of course that might be said about any other part of
the world too.
