The photo tour is an opportunity to reconnect with the vastness of the universe, with the beauty of the night, with the cosmic past, with the ancestral knowledge that has been passed down through generations, with the curiosity of science, with the stellar present, with people from all over the world and with the magic of the Atacama Desert.
To achieve this connection we have certified guides with passion and knowledge about the sky and its mysteries, restrooms and blankets to be able to observe the night sky in complete comfort, a 12-inch telescope for guided observation where the objects of the night sky will be shown when you visit us, a spacious place to take photographs along with a photographer specialized in the art of astrophotography, professional drivers and safe and comfortable vehicles tailored to the group, and of course, the desert sky, one of the cleanest skies on the entire planet.

5.00Absolutely a 10/10 experience! Franco's astronomy talk was super engaging and full of interesting facts. Diego did an incredible job with the photos (they turned out amazing). They were both incredibly friendly. If you're looking for an astronomy tour, don't hesitate to book with them.
Spectacular.

5.00We, coming from Montevideo, Uruguay, do not have much altitude (max 500 meters), so that is special, and that sky!! It was an unforgettable and recommendable experience. It was cold, yes, but totally manageable with the astronomy "class" that Franco provided. The cold was also overcome by the very good vibes and the warmth of the people (beyond the Pisco haha). The photos taken by Diego with patience and great vibes are SPECTACULAR. Thank you for so much!! A strong hug Regards: Tere, Ceci, and Jorge

5.00What an unbelievable experience watching the Milky Way with our own eyes in Atacama, made better by our tour operator! The night was perfect, our guide had great knowledge of the stars and shared it with us, showing us how to identify different constellations, telling stories. We had reclining chairs with blankets, snacks, and mulled wine. An evening we won’t forget ⭐️✨ would reccomend to everyone!
Unforgettable tour.

5.00The experience was great!! Joaco was an excellent guide, always very attentive to everyone's understanding, interactive with the group, and answering all questions. On the other hand, Diego was incredible in his work, very kind and clear in his instructions (besides being a great DJ), and the photos turned out great. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you, guys! Both of them show that they do what they love. I have already recommended the experience to some people :)
