Elqui Valley Stargazing

Pickup will be at the designated time from your hotel in La Serena. We will drive to the valley of the Elqui River towards Vicuña.

Near this town, the Natural Amatista Observatory awaits, where we will begin with a short talk on astronomy.

The Elqui Valley boasts one of the clearest skies in the world. Following the talk, we'll engage in a stargazing activity using powerful electronic telescopes to observe the celestial vault.

During our observation, you will see planets, galaxies, and constellations.

The experience continues with a stargazing session on cozy yoga mats with soft blankets. We’ll explore constellations and stars using a laser pointer while you listen to an epic story about the cosmic origins of our universe. Additionally, there will be a sound therapy session featuring Tibetan bowls, quartz, and gongs, providing a deeper connection to the serene night sky.

The tour concludes with a return to La Serena, arriving at your hotel 6 hours after pickup.
