Offered in: English and 1 more

For thousands of years, human beings had a personal relationship with the night sky—a relationship that, over time, we have forgotten. At **Bajo la Noche de Atacama**, we believe it is time to recover that connection.

We don’t just want to talk about distances, temperatures, and sizes; we want to show you what cannot be seen. That’s why, through a human-centered narrative and astronomical observations with the naked eye and telescopes, we want to create an experience that will bring you closer to the sky.

Our tour includes:

- Stargazing sesions
- Observations through automatic telescopes
- Astrophotography session
- Coffee break with hot drinks, reserve or grand reserve wines, and sweet and savory snacks
- A campfire to end the observation
- A space for you to enjoy the sky however you wish

All of this in an unhurried experience in a natural space specially adapted to respect the environment, free of noise and light pollution.

What's Included

Hot beverages (hot chocolate, coffee, tea, herbal tes), red wines, sweet and savory snacks.
tripods for smartphones
Air-conditioned vehicle

Meeting and pickup

Pickup points

Pickup details:

Pickup is carried out at your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. For guests staying outside the urban area of San Pedro de Atacama, the driver will meet you at Plazoleta la Apacheta or another agreed location. Usually, guests staying outside San Pedro who rent a vehicle drive directly to our observation site. Please note that the pickup time varies throughout the year according to sunset. On the day of the tour, we will contact you in the morning to add you to a WhatsApp group where the driver will share the pickup order before starting and their live location during the route.

What to expect

The experience: A night under the Atacama sky in a quiet place and away from light pollution, and alongside people who love to look up at the sky.

During our tour we will:
- Laser pointer naked-eye sky observations with specialized guides in astronomy and sky observation
- Observations through automatic telescopes of deep sky objects and solar system
- Astrophotographic portraits: 1 photograph per person + 1 photograph per booking at least.
- Campfire accompanied by reserve wines, hot drinks and snacks.

We have prepared a detailed description of the experience on our website, so that you really know what we want to do and know that this is the observation experience you are looking for.

A Hug,
Rodrigo Zúñiga.
