Stargazing Experience in Elqui Valley

Our gathering point will be on O'Higgins Street in Pisco Elqui, where we will start our adventure. We will proceed to a location devoid of artificial light, offering a picturesque view of the sunset behind the Andes mountains.

We will then continue to the natural observatory known as La Isla, situated on the town's outskirts. In this exceptional place, you'll have the opportunity to gaze through a 20-inch telescope to observe planets, star clusters, galaxies, and constellations, creating lasting memories of the experience!

The Elqui Valley is celebrated for its remarkably clear skies, making it perfect for stargazing. This southern hemisphere region's celestial display remains untouched by light pollution, allowing us to enjoy unrivaled views of the evening sky.

But the adventure continues, as you'll get the chance to look through the largest telescope in Pisco Elqui, ensuring a rewarding stargazing outing. To enhance the experience, we will conclude the evening with a delightful pisco sour cocktail.

After the observation session, transportation will be provided back to the original meeting point in Pisco Elqui, with an estimated return time of around two and a half hours.
