Stargazing Tours

The skies of the Coquimbo Region have connected its ancient people and travelers with our nature since immemorial times, motivating them to develop new knowledges, creations and technologies. As time went by, we welcomed the most advanced projects for the exploration of the universe, where were installed the first lenses, advanced cameras and equipment in the Southern Hemisphere not only to see the beyond of the deep universe and its borders but also to learn about the compositions and structures of our universy, galaxy and its thousands and millions of stars and stellar objects that every day and night give us more understanding and knowledge about how the universe moves, bringing us closer and closer to the origins of life itself.

In a fantastic trip to the mountains and also to mystical and ancient places in Northern Chile, you will observe with advanced telescopes and specialized guides numerous stellar objects from highly recommended astronomical projects and sites located in the mountains, slopes, terraces, ravines and ancient banks of Coquimbo, Atacama, Elqui, Limari and Choapa.
