About this experience
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
