Bajo la Noche de Atacama

Description

For thousands of years, human beings had a personal relationship with the night sky—a relationship that, over time, we have forgotten. At **Bajo la Noche de Atacama**, we believe it is time to recover that connection. We don’t just want to talk about distances, temperatures, and sizes; we want to show you what cannot be seen. That’s why, through a human-centered narrative and astronomical observations with the naked eye and telescopes, we want to create an experience that will bring you closer to the sky. Our tour includes: - Stargazing sesions - Observations through automatic telescopes - Astrophotography session - Coffee break with hot drinks, reserve or grand reserve wines, and sweet and savory snacks - A campfire to end the observation - A space for you to enjoy the sky however you wish All of this in an unhurried experience in a natural space specially adapted to respect the environment, free of noise and light pollution.

Fantastic and unforgettable

We did the astrological tour experience with photos with the agency Viagem en Chile. The experience was spectacular, the chosen location was wonderful with many natural beauties. The meal and the wine were very good.

Awesome! Book it now!

If you are going to book Star gazing look no further! Rodrigo is a phenomenal guide and an astronomer in his own right. His passion, informative yet friendly approach and the incredible organization (transport, camp site, and food + a professional photographer) for an incredible price.

Must have experience, highly recommend

The experience was well organized. Pickup and drop was convenient, tour was about 3 hours from pickup to drop which was adequate. The experience was excellent, location was perfect to see the night sky on a new moon night. The view itself was amazing. Rodrigo guided us through the constellations and explained patiently. Tour includes photos taken by staff, tripods were provided to take photos ourself as well. 2 Telescopes were set up to view several artifacts which the guide explained before the viewing. The night ends with drinks and snacks along a bonfire. This is a must have experience when visiting San Pedro de atacama. Worth every bit.

An Unforgettable Experience

Rodrigo provided an amazing tour!! He shared lots of information as we stared up into the crystal clear night sky. There was also larger telescopes, tripods for taking your own photos, food, and blankets. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, this is definitely it!!

Extraordinary experience 100% Recommended - 10/10

We had a great time on this astronomical tour. Rodrigo is a very approachable, friendly person with a lot of knowledge about the subject. He explains everything in an entertaining and easy-to-understand way. Our 11-year-old daughter asked many questions and was fascinated by everything she saw and learned. The tour is very relaxed, taken care of down to the last detail, and at no time does it feel rushed. The three hours flew by for us. The place is close to San Pedro and you can tell the effort they have made to create a welcoming environment. The coffee, hot chocolate, and wine are very much appreciated, in addition to the appetizers and local products. We also found it very affordable for everything it offers. We would do it again without thinking and we totally recommend it.

Vallecito Stargazing Tour

The guide was very professional and introduced us to the Milky Way as well as most of the sky's constellations; the photographer was funny and professional and our pictures against the backdrop of the Milky Way were super beautiful

Spectacular Astronomical Tour

This astronomical tour has been a highlight of my Atacama visit. To see Venus so large and bright and The Milky Way so close and clear was incredible. Rodrigo spoke so passionately about the universe with a quiet calm that drew you into his knowledge. You ended up with as much enthusiasm as he had! Discovering stars and constellations together with his story telling was a real treat. I came away with not only knowledge but photos of The Milky Way .. even one taken on my own phone thanks to Pablo. The telescopes, tripods a warm fire and fabulous food and wine all made for a fantastic evening.Thankyou so much.
