Amazing experience I’ll never forget. Everyone should do this tour if they get the chance. Salvador is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, energetic, enthusiastic and friendly. He really made the experience extra special.

We took multiple astronomical tours and this one was by far the best, I highly recommend it with all my heart! Stargazing in San Pedro was my dream, a bucket list item of my life and I can honestly say I’m beyond satisfied with this experience. Our guide, Salvador, was amazing and explained everything with detail in a way you can simply understand everything easily, he answered all of our questions and was very friendly with everyone! You can tell in someone’s energy when they like what they do and this was it. I will recommend this tour to all my friends and family and I will definitely be back for more. Thank you for this great experience and helping me achieve one of my life long dreams!

Full description

Enjoy two different views of the night sky during your tour. The first will be the Western vision, which studies the universe, the brightness of the stars, and their planets. You can observe, with a telescope, objects in the solar system, deep space, and constellations. Learn about the cosmos and its formation. 

Then, go on an ethnic astronomical journey to understand how the ancient inhabitants of the Andes interpreted the universe, the milky way, and the night sky. Many centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards, in the indigenous settlements of America, many wise observers of the universe interpreted the objects of the night sky. In all the black spaces, they observed figures that gave them information about their daily life including animals, water, rivers, schedules, and life after death. 

Next, learn to observe with a telescope and observe objects such as planets, stars, binary stars, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies, depending on the time of year. At the end of the tour you take a photo with the stars as a souvenir of the night.

Remember to check the lunar calendar before booking. If you book on moonlit nights, the sky may vary.
