This tour leaves the hotel at 9:00 pm by the road to the observatory sector in one of Tierra Atacama’s vehicles. The Stargazing session consists of three stages: the first is a talk outlining the basic concepts of astronomy; the second is an open-sky observation, which provides orientation and information about the local worldview through a first telescope. For the third and final stage, you will enter a dome that contains a larger telescope, where you can contemplate the vast depths of space.
Once your stargazing is finished, the van will take you back to the hotel.
The tour lasts approximately two hours; ask at the excursions desk about the dates it is available.
