Nomades

4.8(434 reviews)For 1 personOnline booking

Take this Astronomical Tour in the Atacama Desert, one of the best places in the world for the observation of the night sky. Spanish-speaking guide included.

Please check with the organizer whether this activity is available in English.

Details

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 the 2 16-inch telescopes available, 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

  • The tour operates with two (2) daily time slots that are released progressively. First, Time Slot 1 (the earliest departure) is opened. Once it is fully booked, Time Slot 2 becomes available.
  • 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 (Solor, Quitor, Poconche, Yaye, Sequitor, and Cucuter), or Toconao.
