San Pedro de Atacama: Etno-Astronomical Tour

1. San Pedro de Atacama: Etno-Astronomical Tour

Enjoy two different views of the night sky during your tour. The first will be the Western vision, which studies the universe, the brightness of the stars, and their planets. You can observe, with a telescope, objects in the solar system, deep space, and constellations. Learn about the cosmos and its formation.  Then, go on an ethnic astronomical journey to understand how the ancient inhabitants of the Andes interpreted the universe, the milky way, and the night sky. Many centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards, in the indigenous settlements of America, many wise observers of the universe interpreted the objects of the night sky. In all the black spaces, they observed figures that gave them information about their daily life including animals, water, rivers, schedules, and life after death.

Felipe is such a wonderful guide! Very friendly (but professional) and knowledgeable. We went on an almost full moon so there wasn’t too much abundance of stars but Felipe managed to maximize the tour. He kept apologizing even though it wasn’t his fault! Thanks Felipe!

Our guide, Felipe, was incredible. We learned so much in that evening and the sky was incredible. I would totally recommend this tour.
