Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We started off the evening first by having our pictures taken under the night sky using a high tech camera. After this, we sat to a snack and drinks under some red light candles to allow our eyes to adjust to the dark before using the telescopes. Our guide taught us about the night sky while we ate. He had two very powerful telescopes (not like an observatory, but much bigger than anything you can buy). He would set up the telescopes for us to view different stars, planets and constellations. The sky was beyond anything I've ever seen. It was well worth it and we all had plenty of time on the telescopes.
Amazing experience

This was an amazing intimate personalised experience. Small group of 12. Everyone was sent photos. And a snack board with a drink of choice was given. The guide was so kind and shared his knowledge and passion with enthusiasm. He showed us how to use the telescopes and showed us so many things to look for. I have never seen a sky like this and it is unforgettable. It was so magical and I could have spent all night looking at the sky. I loved the tour so much that I asked to come again and despite the group being at capacity, I was given a spot. This meant a lot to me and it was the perfect night to spend my last evening in San Pedro de Atacama. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience!! I counted more than 20 shooting stars that night. Never saw such a beautiful ski. Plus, the tour guide was great and very knowledgeable.
