Dinner at Tatacoa Desert + Astronomical Observatory Tour

Experience a delightful dinner under the stars in the Tatacoa Desert and immerse yourself in the wonders of astronomy at an Astronomical Observatory during this excursion from Neiva.

Details of the Day Trip

At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your hotel in Neiva and head towards the Tatacoa Desert, renowned as one of Colombia's most breathtaking locations, ensuring a memorable adventure.

You might find it intriguing that the Tatacoa Desert is identified as the second largest arid zone in Colombia. However, it is technically classified as a tropical dry forest. Despite the high temperatures often exceeding 95°F (35°C), this region is home to unique flora and fauna specially adapted to thrive here.

Your dining experience will take place at either the El Rincón del Cabrito restaurant or the terrace of Hotel Cosmos, where you can enjoy an outdoor dinner while soaking in the stunning scenery. Be sure to sample the local specialty: roasted goat, a popular dish in the Huila region.

To conclude this remarkable outing on a high note, we'll visit the Astrosur Astronomical Observatory or the VyctoriaStars Observatory, depending on availability. Here, the Spanish-speaking staff will captivate us with engaging discussions and elaborate on why the Tatacoa Desert is celebrated as a premier stargazing destination. If conditions permit, you may even get to witness the stunning night sky firsthand!

Finally, we will begin our return journey, concluding this enriching 6-hour day trip.
