We will embark on a fascinating exploration of the deep sky, taking advantage of the precision of specialized telescopes for astronomical observation. The experience varies depending on the time of year, allowing us to admire different celestial objects depending on the season.
During the observation, you will be able to marvel at planets, open and closed star clusters, as well as try to distinguish distant galaxies and the subtle glow of countless stars that illuminate the night sky of the Atacama Desert.
The experience may also include an introduction to Andean cultural astronomy and archaeoastronomy, addressing the ancestral relationship between the sky, the land, and the worldview of the region's indigenous peoples. Through this explanation, we will delve into how pre-Hispanic cultures interpreted celestial movements and their influence on the social and cultural organization of the Andean world.

Overall average to poor experience, would not particularly recommend
Rude staff who were impatient, even though we arrived and waited. They did not specify an exact arrival time or provide instructions re: jackets. Poor communication overall. The activity was not interesting, with too many people.

Can’t miss this once in a lifetime experience
I did all my tours with this agency: valle del arcoíris, de la luna, piedras rojas, geysers, laguna Céjar and astronomical.
I loved the knowledge that every tour guide had, from Cami, Pedro, Karla and Henri it was amazing, full of facts and data that surprised and always open to answer any questions.
The meals that come with the tour are very complete and they are always on time and flexible to reschedule if possible.
Would definitely recommend this

Fascinating night tour to enjoy the magnificent sky of San Pedro de Atacama
If there is a place to see the most beautiful sky you can have is San Pedro de Atacama. I hired Atacama Extrema and went on the tour Una noche con Estrellas. Wonderful experience with introductory lesson, visualization of various celestial stars and astrophotography.
