The guide took great care in preparing the activity. He actively answered questions. He had blankets for us to cover ourselves against the cold. The seats were comfortable. And the little table of coffees, teas and soft drinks in the middle of the night, already in the early morning, was appreciated.

Atacama Desert Stargazing Tour

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in San Pedro Atacama before driving to our observation point.

Once we arrive at the observation point, we'll gaze at the night sky alongside. After enjoying stunning constellations and the prominent celestial objects with the naked eye in the night sky, we'll utilize electronic telescopes to observe the heavens like you never have before. Depending on the season, we'll be able to get incredible views of planets, star clusters, nebulae, and stars.

We'll then enjoy a drink, before beginning our journey back to San Pedro de Atacama. You can expect to arrive at your hotel approximately 2 - 2.5 hours after the pickup.

Nosso grupo gostou demais! Rodrigo é um ótimo professor, claro ao falar, divertido e muito simpático. Juan e Pablo também foram ótimos! O ambiente uma graça, com cobertas de estrelas para nos aquecer, sofás confortáveis, e a fogueira com bebida quente foi muito agradável. O céu estava muito lindo e foi mágico avistar Saturno e as Plêiades no telescópio Translate this opinion into English.

Our group really enjoyed it! Rodrigo is a great teacher, clear in his speech, fun and very friendly. Juan and Pablo were also great! The atmosphere was lovely, with star blankets to keep us warm, comfortable sofas, and the bonfire with a hot drink was very pleasant. The sky was beautiful and it was magical to see Saturn and the Pleiades through the telescope. Opinion translated. Show original.

Uma experiência absolutamente imprescindível. O guia Rodrigo Zúñiga é incrível e estimulou nossa curiosidade com bastante sensibilidade. A sensação de olhar o céu com outros olhares e, em seguida, ver os telescópios é muito rica. No final, ainda temos uma fogueira para deixar tudo ainda mais especial e fotos para guardar essa recordação mágica. Super recomendo! Translate this opinion into English.

An absolutely essential experience. The guide Rodrigo Zúñiga is incredible and stimulated our curiosity with great sensitivity. The feeling of looking at the sky from different perspectives and then seeing the telescopes is very rich. At the end, we still have a bonfire to make everything even more special and photos to save this magical memory. I highly recommend it! Opinion translated. Show original.
