Description

Learn how to recognize the stars, planets and constellations of our universe with a professional astronomer!

Your guide will collect you from your hotel in central Santiago. From here, you will be driven to a private Observatory located about 40 minutes from the Chilean capital.

Upon arrival, a professional astronomer will give you a presentation of our universe, complete with some amazing facts about the stars and planets. After this small theoretical introduction, you will observe the night sky through the different telescopes on hand.

Your star-gazing astronomic session will then finish with a gastronomic treat: wine and cheese will be served in the lounge where you can exchange your ideas about the mysteries of the universe with the other visitors. (Non-alcoholic drinks will also be available)

At the end of the evening, you will be driven back to your hotel.

Excessive drinking is bad for your health – consume in moderation
