Very educational and beautiful stargazing in desert sky - The tour starts with a pickup from your hotel/hostal and drives you to a dark and remote area in the Atacama desert. The tour guide, Rodrigo, is extremely knowledgeable of the cosmos and pointed out multiple stars and constellations in the sky with a laser pointer to make identification easy. We sat with cozy blankets that were provided. He spoke clearly in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to all those who joined. We were able to look through 2 telescopes to see different clusters of stars, Betelgeuse- the dying star, and the surface of the moon. Rodrigo was very patient and detailed in explaining everything to us. The night finished with lighting a warm bonfire and wine, hot chocolate, and snacks. Overall, a really unique and educational experience for anyone who wants to know more about the star, planets, and enjoys nature

Silky smooth voice - and stars! - This was such a magical and educational tour! We learned so much from Rodrigo, who is obviously an expert on the night sky. He also had the best voice - worthy of podcasts and bedtime stories! Pablo did a great job with taking a very memorable photo.

Dream night under the stars - An unmissable night tour if you are in San Pedro de Atacama. Wonderful views with excellent explanation of stars and constellations, they are also viewed through a telescope giving another perspective. Very well organized, enjoyable and at the end there is a bonfire with a picnic and they take a beautiful photo of the attendees. The guide is highly recommended for his extensive knowledge and charisma and his work team.

Great! - The astronomical tour was sensational! Rodrigo explains many things about constellations, stars, history and curiosities in the field of astronomy. There are two telescopes, one of which is very powerful! The night ends with wine and snacks around a bonfire. Guide Pablo also takes a cool photo with the Milky Way in the background. I highly recommend it!

Amazing Experiences Below The Stars Of Atacama Desert! - The tour was very very very good and all my expectations were exceeded! The whole evening was designed with a lot of thoughts and care. Rodrigo explained a lot about the sky and the stars and we could watch the sky with the eyes and through two telescopes. In addition to that some drinks and snacks were offered and the location itself was prepared in a really nice way. There was even a restroom and explanations were given in Spanisch and English. We even got a picture with us sitting below the stars of Atacama Desert. I absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!!!
