Located in the Andes Mountains above Pisco Elqui, this astronomical observation experience places you in a newly built amphitheatre where you can sit back and take in a brilliant southern sky. While you relax, you’ll enjoy a homemade pisco sour and listen to an explanatory talk about the southern sky from a specialised astronomy guide. The setting is natural and peaceful, designed for quiet observation and contemplation.
You’ll gaze at thousands of stars with the naked eye and then have the opportunity to view stars, planets and galaxies through a professional 20‑inch telescope. Along the way, the guide will help you learn more about southern celestial objects and point out highlights overhead. The experience finishes with a professional night photograph taken with the starry sky as the background. Complimentary pickup and drop‑off from the main office in Pisco Elqui is included.
