Experience a stargazing tour in the Atacama Desert, away from the magical town of San Pedro de Atacama.
Be picked up from your hotel and travel to the astronomical observation site. Arrive at a nicely arranged outdoor area under the stars, inspired by the Andean Cosmovision, in the shape of a Chakana (Andean Cross) and with a water mirror in its center where you can observe the reflection of the stars.
Listen as your certified and well-experienced stargazing guide explains both the Andean and the classic (Greek/Roman) interpretation of stars and constellations. See the most interesting celestial objects through high-end professional telescopes.
Finally, the special light-sensitive camera/lens takes beautiful pictures of you and the stars. Meanwhile, contemplate the night-sky and enjoy a hot tea or chocolate or a glass of wine.
After about 2 hours of stargazing be dropped off at your hotel.

5.00This journey into astronomy and the star world is sensational and unique. Lasse does it really great, he conveys the world of stars to his guests and gives a lot of background knowledge. We loved the facility and felt very comfortable.
Interesting stargazing

5.00Great understandable also for laymen and very interesting, as the view of the Andean peoples is also mentioned in particular. At the end there was a mobile phone photo of the moon taken with the telescope and a souvenir photo of us with the galaxy! All in beautifully designed surroundings outside; equipped with blanket it was not too cold.
Informative view of the starry sky in the southern hemisphere.

5.00We are absolutely thrilled with our stargazer evening. Lasse explained the sky to us superbly and literally brought it closer with the views through his two telescopes. In addition, there was a great explanation of Chakana, the Andean Cross.
Amazing Experience

5.00What can I say when you have the opportunity to be in the Atacama Desert...do this tour. Check out the starry sky with the accompanying comments. It's just indescribably beautiful!

5.00We were really looking forward to the tour in the late evening and our expectations were exceeded. At the beginning we looked at the starry sky with the naked eye. It was very informative and everything was explained very clearly and easily understandable. Later, the telescope was able to take a closer look at certain stars/planets. Seeing Jupiter like this was our highlight. All the questions you had were answered confidently. Overall, the tour takes about 2h and the small break for snacks and drinks was used to take great pictures with the starry sky in the background. We were so excited that we booked a private tour again a few days later.
Highly recommended tour whilst in San Pedro De Atacama.

5.00This was our second astronomic tour in just over a year. The first one being in Western Australia. This experience was several levels above our earlier one. Lesse is a very knowledgeable presenter with his explanation of classical and Andean interpretation of the southern skies. Observations of planet Jupiter, distant stars and our closest neighbouring galaxy (Large Magellanic Cloud) through two telescopes was an unforgettable experience.
Incredibly beautiful evening

5.00Our guide Lasse introduced us to the world of astronomy under an enchanting starry sky. This was very exciting and interesting.You had a great view of the night sky that you probably don't see anywhere else in this way.
Beautiful stargazing, interesting explanations including Andean interpretation of the sky

5.00My partner and I had a good time on this stargazing tour, the location is far enough outside of San Pedro to see the sky and the Milky Way well. The guide is knowledgeable about the sky and shared both the European and Andean interpretation of the sky and constellations. You also get to look at sky objects through two telescopes, and the guide always checks in with everyone to make sure you can see what you are supposed to see through the telescope. He can speak English, German, and French. The pictures he takes at the end of the tour in front of the night sky turned out beautiful! Snacks and drinks are also provided. Overall a good experience!! I recommend it.
