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. This observatory is self-built by the astronomer, utilizing ancient building techniques, and is oriented towards different astronomical phenomena that occur during the year.

    This was very low-key and a fun experience under the stars. I enjoyed the time looking through the telescope and the free time I had to do some astrophotography. Our hosts were super kind and interesting.
