Stargazing
Because the tour requires complete darkness at the start, depending on the season you may need to meet at the gathering point between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM. You will travel into the middle of the desert. Observe stars of various types and ages, binary stars, and variable star systems. Afterwards, view nebulae (star nurseries) and star clusters. At the end of the tour, observe a nearby galaxy, a collection of billions of stars that have traveled together since nearly the beginning of the universe. Then, together with a professional photographer, take several photos with this magnificent sky as the backdrop. After the tour, the driver will take you back to the hotel.

Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley)
Today head to "El Valle de la Luna" (Moon Valley). Be amazed by the giant salt and clay sculptures formed over years by the force of wind. This valley has no life or moisture and is one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. When the sun sets, pyrotechnic hues are painted on the edges of hills and canyons, wind blows through the rocks, and the sky shifts from pink to purple and finally to black. Enjoy a cocktail and light snacks, and at the end of the tour watch the sunset at one of the most beautiful spots in the area. Afterwards, you will be dropped off at Plaza Tocopilla (Plaza Turi) where you can walk back to the hotel or take a taxi.
