To watch the sky is also to harvest
A night to learn to read the sky with the naked eye, observe it through professional telescopes and taste the fruits of the Elqui land.
We teach you to recognize constellations, planets and the most curious objects in the universe — from light that traveled billions of years to the copao growing at your feet.
The experience, step by step
≈ 3 HOURSWith the naked eye
Learn to locate constellations, planets and celestial objects without any instrument. Your eyes are the first telescope.
Telescopes
We observe star clusters, nebulae and deep-space galaxies with professional equipment.
Astrophotography
Live digital observation: the universe captured in real time, right in front of you, with astrophotography telescopes.
Flavors of Elqui
Jams, sweets and juices from local fruits —including the copao—, cheeses, meats, wines and local spirits.
Three telescopes, three views
Each instrument reveals a different layer of the sky — from the great galaxy-hunting reflector to the astrophotography refractor.
Sky-Watcher Dobson 300p
Our galaxy-hunter. Maximum light-gathering for deep space: faint nebulae and distant galaxies.
William Optics GT81
The king of wide-field astrophotography. Apochromatic optics for sharp, aberration-free images.
Celestron C6
Versatile and compact. Sharp for planetary detail, the Moon and bright deep-sky objects.

The flavors of Elqui
The land that holds up this sky also feeds it. We taste the copao, jams, sweets and juices from local fruits, along with cheeses, meats, wines and spirits from the area.
The Elqui Valley
One of the clearest and darkest skies on the planet, among hills, vineyards and observatories. A place where the night still looks the way it should.
