Travel 10 km from San Pedro de Atacama to a dark-sky area with very low light pollution, perfect for astrotourism. Enjoy a two-part Atacama Astrophotography Tour.
In the first part, the goal isn’t to give you an astronomy class, it’s to help you learn how to use a telescope with your own hands. For about 1 hour at the telescope station, the guide uses a laser to point out and locate objects in the sky, and you’ll choose what you want to observe as you explore the night sky in real time. Along the way, you’ll get a clear and entertaining introduction to stellar evolution: why stars are born and what their life cycle is like. Everything is designed to be a hands-on, dynamic, and close-up experience focused on observing and enjoying the sky.
Second, join a photo session with the star-filled sky, and when conditions allow, the Milky Way as your backdrop. Leave with professional images from the Atacama Desert.
If you want comfort, a breathtaking night sky, transport included, and photos to remember it, this tour is for you.

Excelente la experiencia, los guías muy simpáticos, amables y con mucho conocimiento para compartir, buen equipamiento, muy buenas fotos, muy rica comida Nos pasó que tuvimos que reprogramar el tour porque se nubló en la noche de la fecha original. Todo funcionó bien con el cambio de fecha, pero hay que tener prevista esa posibilidad y tener más de una fecha posible.
