This stargazing tour starts with a pickup from accommodations in San Pedro de Atacama, which takes about 30 minutes. The group then travels approximately 7 kilometers to a remote lodge away from city lights. The tour lasts between 2 and 3 hours in total. Upon arrival, a guide gives a welcome talk and takes a professional photo of each guest under the open, roofless night sky. Participants receive a short astronomy talk covering star formation and how to use the telescopes. The main activity involves observing stars, nebulae, star clusters, and southern constellations through two 14-inch telescopes. The celestial objects visible depend on the time of year. Between telescope sessions, guests can relax under warm blankets while enjoying snacks with a choice of tea, hot chocolate, or wine. After the observation session, the group returns to San Pedro de Atacama and is dropped off at their accommodations. The tour includes transportation to and from the lodge, snacks, the astronomy talk, telescope observation, and one professional photo per person. Participants should wear warm, light-colored clothing, especially covering legs and feet, due to low nighttime temperatures in the desert.
