Stargazing in northern Chile

Almost nowhere else in the world are the skies as clear and the view of the stars as good as in northern Chile. It's no coincidence that some of the world's most important international observatories are located here. Astronomers from all over the world are repeatedly drawn here to conduct research. The Space OBs (San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Observatory) in San Pedro de Atacama is located very close to the Tropic of Capricorn and is open to the public. During a visit, an expert will provide you with background astronomy knowledge and, with the help of an extra-powerful laser pointer, will demonstrate the special features of the southern sky. Through a telescope, you can enjoy unforgettable views of distant stars and galaxies.
