ELQUI VALLEY: ASTRONOMICAL HORSEBACK RIDING – HALF DAY

We depart riding on horseback up the mountain side in a deep contact with the surroundings and warm colours of the sunset creating sensorial connections that mesmerize as we get closer to the night sky. During the sunset, our local guide will show us alternative paths that were traditionally used by the Chilean huasos.

Upon arrival we will meet with a perfect scenario as the night falls in absolute darkness to receive a perfect Astro Experience using high-level astronomical observation in the quality of a Sky-Watcher 20” Dobsonian telescope differentiating the contrast and full prominence of the night sky in the southern hemisphere, amidst a log fire inside an amphitheatre with a homemade pisco sour whilst listening to our bilingual tour guide, incorporating an observation program of 7 celestial objects approximately through our professional telescope, complemented by enjoyable interactions, understanding and identifying objects in the sky with the naked eye.

Recommendations: wear comfortable and warm clothing. It is also recommended to have dinner before.

Duration: 3 hours.
