What You Will Do
If you are fascinated by the photos and pictures of light year distant planets, stars and galaxies far far away, then don’t miss this chance to get a glance of the famous Chilean clear skies only half an hour away from the city. The observatory is owned privately and located in the Andes. At this Observatory you will have the unique experience of partly stargaze in broad daylight. A unique experience because there is no other place in the world where this is being done!
Please bring some warm clothes as temperatures drop significantly at night close to the Andes mountains in Chile. And to be fully prepared, please download the paid application "Sky Safari" on your own phone to observe some objects by pointing it to the sky.
**As our tour is as exclusive as our Astronomer is eccentric, please reach out to us to check availability before booking.
**In case of limited weather conditions, we propose an alternative (gourmet) Stargazing Experience
**Please be flexible in your dates

Andes Mountains

After arrival to this privately held Observatory in the middle of the Andes Mountains, you will be offered a glass of wine or other refreshment by our host. Followed by a brief presentation given by an experienced astronomer on where in the universe earth is located, complemented with astounding facts about planets, stars, galaxies and what can we expected to observe on the telescopes. Next we begin the observation of the clear sky with our bare eyes and the guidance of our astronomer, we continue then with simple binoculars and move onwards in technology to bigger and higher tech telescopes until you finally get to see the beautiful celestial bodies on the astrophotography telescope. We will make sure you receive the pictures through e-mail! To put your feet back on the ground, our host will serve you a glass of wine, cheese and other appetizers while you share your experiences and impressions with other members of the tour.
