Astronomical Tour "Under the Night Sky"
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.
