What you can expect

  • We will take you into the desert, 15 minutes from San Pedro de Atacama.

    We choose a place far from any light pollution or noise.
    You will be in the middle of the desert facing the Andes mountain range, surrounded by nature, under the arms of the Milky Way.

    We'll start with a talk to introduce our location, the sky, its immensity, and what it's made of.

    We'll continue with a photo session with a professional photographer. She will take a high-resolution panoramic photo of you.

    We will observe between 8 and 10 objects with state-of-the-art telescopes.
    You'll be able to observe the deep sky: galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and planets, and the guide will explain the special features of each object.

    We will end the sightseeing tour with a snack and a cocktail with wine, hot chocolate and an accompanying starter.

    We'll take you back to your respective hotels with your eyes full of stars.
