Overview

Escape the city and experience one of the clearest night skies on Earth in the Andes. Watch the sunset, then explore the stars with a professional astronomer, uncovering constellations, galaxies, and stories from both Western science and ancient Andean cultures.

Travel into the mountains to a remote observatory, far from light pollution and ideal for stargazing.

Guided by an astronomer, explore the southern sky and learn how Mapuche and Incan cultures interpreted the stars while viewing planets, constellations, and deep-space objects.

Between observations, enjoy a traditional Chilean dinner with local flavours and wine.

This experience blends science, culture, and the natural beauty of the Andes into one unforgettable evening.

Activity itinerary

Andes Mountains

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
We drive to a private, self-built observatory, located in the mountains 105 km north of Santiago. The driving time is made up for by 260 clear nights per year, and incredibly dark skies, perfect for stargazing, even through the naked eye!!! Your hosts will welcome you with a traditional “once chilena” (our version of tea), with homemade bread, tea, coffee, craft cheeses and other delicious homemade sweet and savoury traditional treats. After eating, our Astronomer introduces you to the cosmology of Andean Cultures, and the relevance certain celestial objects had to our ancestors. Afterwards, we move to the tower (every structure here is built to coincide with astronomical phenomena), where we learn to observe the negative spaces in the Milky Way (sacred to most ancient peoples of the South), and then move on to observation with telescopes, where the Astronomer addresses current, western cosmology to contextualise the objects we observe.
