About Activity
Escape the lights of San Pedro de Atacama and discover why the Atacama Desert is considered one of the best places on Earth for astronomical observation. This small-group experience (maximum 6 participants) combines the comfort of a 4x4 vehicle with professional astronomical equipment and expert interpretation from a certified astronomy guide.
Observe planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and the Milky Way through powerful 16-inch Orion and 12-inch Meade Dobsonian telescopes, specially suited to the exceptional viewing conditions of the Atacama Desert. Wrapped in traditional wool blankets while enjoying hot beverages beneath one of the clearest skies in the world, this experience offers an unforgettable journey through the cosmos.
