We’ll depart from San Pedro de Atacama to a dark-sky area ideal for astronomy.
We’ll start with a friendly briefing covering basics, cardinal directions, and tips to spot constellations. Then you’ll stargaze with the naked eye and through a telescope, identifying planets, stars, and open/globular clusters.
There will be time for night-sky photos (optional) and questions before returning to de Atacama, where the tour ends.
Important notes
- Itinerary order may change without prior notice.
- Visibility depends on cloud cover and the moon phase (dark skies favor faint objects; bright moon enhances the landscape).
- Pick-up not available from or to lodging outside the urban area, nearby ayllus (Quitor, Yaye, Checar, Sequitor, Solor, Coyo), or Toconao.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is located the place where we will make the tour?

A cancellation could happen because of weather conditions and in these cases corresponds a full refund of what you paid for the booking. If you are available to reschedule the tour, you will be able to do it without any problem, depending on the availability.Is there any difference with the observation depending on the departure I take?
None. Only the position in which the bodies are at the time you take the tour. You will be able to see the same bodies and constellations, with the corresponding explanations of the guides.Which is the difference between the Astronomical Tour and the Astrophotography Tour?
Both tours include telescope observation, but the Astronomical Tour has more technical information for people enthusiastic about astronomy. On the other hand, the Astrophotography Tour gives you simpler information, focused in Andean constellations.
