We will go through the beauties of the night sky – looking for planets, stars, shooting stars, satellites, constellations and galaxies. We may elaborate on life outside Earth – based on Science and Philosophy, including the Fermi Paradox.

It was a very good astronomical experience with Egon. He is, besides, a great photographer, an exceptional star guide, given his superior knowledge of astronomy. We were able to see a Chinese space station, besides seeing Mars and mercury, lucky day! We were also able to identify constellations and stars in the sky. Egon also has blankets, considering the low temperatures, especially for someone, like me, who is not used to the cold. About the photographs of the stars: The photographer has advanced equipment and knowledge, which allows the photograph to be quick and spontaneous. That said, highly recommended experience!

My wife and I took part in the astronomy tour in Cambara do Sul last week with the guide Egon. The night star tour was a magical experience that far exceeded our expectations. Under a sky full of sparkling stars, we were able to discover the secrets of the universe in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Egon has explained astrological relationships and theories very well and understandably using some examples with great enthusiasm. This made the whole tour not only informative but also incredibly exciting. In addition, Egon took beautiful photos of us, both during sunset and under the starry sky. These memories are a very special bonus for us and make the tour even more memorable. This tour is an absolute must for anyone who is passionate about astronomy or simply wants to spend an unforgettable evening under the stars. We thank Egon very much and can recommend this tour without restriction!!!

We had an entertaining and wonderful evening. Egon has not only explained a lot about the stars - but also about the nature and the special features of this region. Also valuable are the photographic tips that Egon likes to give! The advice from him regarding clothes should be followed - it gets really cold there. At this point again a big thank you to Egon for the tea and the extra blankets! I will definitely think about the experience often and gladly and the professional photos you get are just great. Highly recommended!

The tour started on schedule. The instructor showed courtesy and knowledge. A very different experience than any other I've ever had in my life. We have seen several constellations, planets and falling stars. I highly recommend!

Incredible experience with contemplation of the sunset and a wonderful starry sky, with right to several falling stars (meteors) and amazing photos! The best of Cambará! Guide Egon, with his incredible storytelling, shared an extraordinary range of knowledge. From facts and curiosities about the culture and nature gaúcha, as much as about the Earth, stars and the universe. In addition, it is important to also mention his affection and care for people. Even making it clear to prepare for the cold, which is indeed quite intense, still provided some blankets and blankets for those who still needed more thermal comfort. In short, excellent walk, great experience! Super recommend!

Just wonderful. EGON is very good. He knows a lot about constellations and local history. The sky was very clear and it was possible to see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Super recommend. Storytelling.
