Astronomy Safari: Nighttime Exploration In The Sky Of The Atacama Desert

Discover the immensity of the universe on a nighttime experience that combines adventure, knowledge, and comfort. The Astronomy Safari takes you far from the light pollution of San Pedro de Atacama, venturing deep into the desert to contemplate one of the clearest skies in the world.

During this approximately 3-hour experience, you`ll travel in a van or jeep in small groups (maximum 6 people), ensuring personalized attention and a more intimate connection with the environment. Upon arrival, a cozy space will be prepared with chairs and wool blankets (aguayos), allowing you to comfortably enjoy stargazing even in the cooler nighttime temperatures.

Guided by certified astronomy experts, you will learn about constellations, planets and celestial phenomena, while using powerful professional telescopes such as the 16” Orion and 12” Meade, specially adapted to the unique conditions of the desert.

In addition, you can enjoy hot drinks that complement this sensory experience under the stars.

The Astronomy Safari is a must-do activity for those visiting the Atacama Desert, perfect for nature lovers, science enthusiasts, and those looking to experience something truly different and memorable.
