Featured review

James_E

Amazing experience, Jared is incredibly passionate about astronomy and has a huge amount of knowledge. Even with somewhat cloudy conditions, Jared was able to make the experience excellent, adapting to the movement of the clouds to ensure we saw as much as possible. The telescope is very powerful so you get to see some incredible sights. The food, wine and cocktails included is a really nice touch and was a good way to kill time whilst everyone gets photos (which are great by the way). Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you Jared! :)

Best date with the stars

Davneet_S, Mar 2026

Due to weather, this activity was on and off theoughout the day! Thankfully we were able to go and the tour operators were good at keeping us updated, very clear on the expectations and timings. This experience is one of the best experiences of my life!!! The guide at the site was so knowledgeable and passionate he patiently answered all questions and translated in 3 different languages whilst keeping everyone engaged. He is perhaps the best guide of his expertise i have met. He was so friendly, Jared was brilliant. We had time to take pictures after and enjoy the views. It was the perfect pace and really magical. Highly reccomend this particular tour because of the providers and the great expertise of Jared.

Everything was wonderful!...

Nicole_B, Dec 2025

Everything was wonderful! Very well-organized! The one I would suggest is perhaps we don’t need to make 2 stops: breakfast and lunch. It extends the day quite a bit. But the tour itself was great and I would recommend it!

The Best Astronomical Tour

Martin_K, Nov 2025

This is one of the best astronomical tour I've attended. The guide gave us a good introductory lesson and showed us some stars/nebulae. We also get to have our photos taken with stars in the background. The whole experience was quite pleasant and enjoyable for people who have little to no astronomical knowledge.

The meeting point was...

Fabiano_K, Jan 2026

The meeting point was in the Andes Travel office on Caracoles Street in the centre of San Pedro. We walked to the van that took us to the place, which was in the outskirts of the city. It was a well-arranged terrain, prepared for observation of the sky. It was near a highway, so from time to time you could see lights from the cars, but nothing to interfere with the event. Jared conducted the tour in Spanish and English, but from time to time he spoke a great Portuguese. The first part of the tour was observation of the sky, with explanation about the stars, the Solar System, and general doubts. Jared was quite excited and answered all the questions. The sky of San Pedro is quite clear and you could see an immense number of stars with the naked eye, and a piece of the Milky Way. There were two telescopes that Jared positioned according to what we were going to observe. The tour was on 08/01/2026 from 21:00-23:00, so we logically observed what was possible at the time. We saw Saturn, Orion Nebula, Pleiades, Tarantula Nebula, a globular cluster, and Jupiter with its stripes and 4 moons. We then took a break for snacks, and the group split into 2 for photos, which Jared sent right the next morning. There were also some tripods that people could use to take their own photos (the photo I attached is from my iPhone, nothing comparable to the great photo Jared took of us with the starry sky in the background). It was necessary to wait a while until it was your turn to observe the telescope or take the photo, but this is understandable, since it is a collective tour. In the end, it is worth it!

Disappointing

Aurora_C, Dec 2025

The informative level of the tour is quite poor, as well as the place where it takes place, very close to the urban area. It cannot be considered an astronomical tour. The only thing to highlight is the person who taught us to take night photographs, our thanks
