Worth every penny. If not for Pedro's excitement you feel during his presentation, it still be worth it just to be there.
Tour has photos, looking at different objectives through a telescope, snacks, a bonfire afterwards and very well communication regarding pick up. 10/10 I'd go again with them.

The way things were explained was so magical and entertaining. Would definitely book again if I went back to San Pedro. The telescopes were so cool.

Amazing experience in the desert of Atacama.
A outstanding guide walks you through his passion and explain you our magical sky.
The view is just wow.
Top organisation.

This was such a magical and educational tour! We learned so much from Rodrigo, who is obviously an expert on the night sky. He also had the best voice - worthy of podcasts and bedtime stories! Pablo did a great job with taking a very memorable photo.

This was probably my favorite tour we did in all of San Pedro de Atacama! The guide was SUPER knowledgeable and knew so many facts. He had a laser pointer so powerful he could shine it on individual stars to show us which ones exactly he was talking about. We learned to identify several constellations in the sky like Orion’s Belt, Gemini, Taurus, Leo, etc that were visible that night. He also had two powerful microscopes that we used to see Jupiter and its moons, beetlejuice, and about 4 other things. The wine, hot chocolate, snacks, and blankets were a fantastic touch. They even have a little house with a bathroom built nearby. The same information was being translated in both English and Spanish. I am absolutely confident that by choosing this specific tour we chose the best option. Thank you for the magical night!!

This stargazing tour was everything as described and more. The pickup went extremely smoothly. The driver listed the order of pickup at the start of the tour so you knew your exact time slot to be at your accommodation. The drive was a quick 10 minute drive from our stay where we were taken to comfortable chairs, each with their own blanket. Rodrigo shared stories of the stars and the different constellations using a lazer light that pointed directly to the different stars he was talking about. The advanced equipment let you see the planets and stars in high resolution (we even saw the rings around Saturn). The tour ended with snacks and drinks around a fire pit and a photo against the starry night. Be sure to keep an eye out for shooting stars, we saw several. Highly recommend this tour!

It was for sure the best tour you can book.
It was done so gentle, informativ and beautifuly. Rodrigo is an Astronomist, answerd every question and we learned a lot. We saw the Rings of Saturn, the storms on Jupiter, the Moon and many other fings.
There were seats with cushions, blankets,good food, hot drinks and a wonderful bonfire.
You should not miss this!!🥰

Actual program started at 10 pm so we didn’t get back to hotel until after midnight. Interesting but since it’s outside sound amplification would have been very helpful. Good summary of stars in southern hemisphere

A well-designed and interesting evening tour. Pick-up from participant's hotels was well organised via WhatsApp. Rodrigo provided lots of information in English and Spanish, highlighting various constellations and stars initially with a laser pointer and then through a couple of powerful telescopes. This was followed by drinks/snacks around a log fire and photos taken of participants against the backdrop of the starry night which were sent on to us via WhatsApp the following day.

Had an amazing experience with Rodrigo. He is so knowledgeable, and the evening was the best tour we did all weekend. He taught us how to find major constellations from sight before showing us certain items through his very high tech telescope. From pickup to drop-off, it was seamless, and I am so glad I chose this tour over the other similar tours.

Thank you for your comments, Sarah!
It is wonderful to see that you enjoyed the night as much as we enjoy preparing everything and sharing the sky with you.
Safe travels!
