Top North Chile Photography Tours

For thousands of years, human beings had a personal relationship with the night sky—a relationship that, over time, we have forgotten. At **Bajo la Noche de Atacama**, we believe it is time to recover that connection. We don’t just want to talk about distances, temperatures, and sizes; we want to show you what cannot be seen. That’s why, through a human-centered narrative and astronomical observations with the naked eye and telescopes, we want to create an experience that will bring you closer to the sky. Our tour includes: - Stargazing sesions - Observations through automatic telescopes - Astrophotography session - Coffee break with hot drinks, reserve or grand reserve wines, and sweet and savory snacks - A campfire to end the observation - A space for you to enjoy the sky however you wish All of this in an unhurried experience in a natural space specially adapted to respect the environment, free of noise and light pollution.

The Atacama Desert has one of the cleanest and clearest skies on the planet, internationally recognized for its quality for stargazing. Secondly, the use of high-end, computerized and manual telescopes makes it possible to observe planets, clusters, galaxies and stars with great clarity, appreciating their shapes and colors in an unrivalled way. Another key aspect is the specialized guide, which provides clear, dynamic and didactic explanations, adapted to all audiences. In addition, the use of an astronomical laser pointer facilitates the identification of the main constellations of the southern hemisphere, providing an educational and entertaining value. This combination of exceptional sky, advanced technology and professional accompaniment ensures an immersive astrotourism experience that is hard to match. All this accompanied by food and drinks to make the activity more relaxed and comforting.
