Resumen
The search for a suitable site for the location of an observatory in the torrid zone is a task that requires time and effort. We present a project wich aims to search such place along three phases: (1) A careful analysis of temporal series of meteorological variables available in the literature and databases (IDEAM), (2) The use of a meteorological model and satellite images in order to filter only a few places and (3) The use of the DIMM technique to determine the optical seeing in the places selected in (2). The DIMM techique is currently working with the instrumentation available at the Observatorio Astronómico at Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá.
