I recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Atacama! - Participating in the Astronomical Experience with San Pedro Expeditions in the Atacama Desert was absolutely magical. The clarity of the night sky is something that cannot be described in words, and the Team Guide was essential to understanding the wonders of the universe we were observing. Also, the opportunity to do astrophotography was a real luxury. With expert help from the guides, I was able to capture stunning images of the stars and constellations. The combination of science, nature and photography made this experience unique and unforgettable.
