Astronomical Tour

Description

This astronomical tour is offered every night, except for 5 nights a month when there is a full moon.

The tour allows people, without necessarily having previous knowledge, to understand how to look at the sky, as well as being able to observe our universe through powerful telescopes, from one of the best places on Earth to see the sky, the desert of Atacama.

During the first part of this tour, we show the sky that we can see with the naked eye. So then we can understand what we are seeing, what is a constellation, how to learn from them, how to understand a map of the sky and recognize the main stars.

For this, a green laser pointer is used, which allows to indicate precisely which star is referred to in this stage of the tour.

The tours culminate sharing a hot drink before returning to San Pedro.

The duration of the tours is two and a half hours.

We are in the desert and the nights are cold. It is very important to come well wrapped so as to enjoy the tour comfortably.

To have a quality tour, the number of passengers is usually limited to 12 people.

In case there is cloudiness on the day of the tour, the tour will be suspended and a 100% refund will be made to the passengers.
