Calafate Night Tour
Astrotourism in El Calafate
An experience for curious minds
Discover the Sky with This Adventure!
Accompanied by telescopes and an expert astronomer, we will observe thousands of stars, the Milky Way, satellites, mythology, and much more.
We will pick you up from your hotel and take you to a historic restaurant by the lake, where you will enjoy a delicious traditional dinner featuring Argentina’s most iconic meats and abundant side dishes.
After dinner, we will head out to experience one of the best skies in the world with our telescopes and expert guide! First, we will stay by the lakeshore to observe the simplest constellations visible to the naked eye. Our astronomer guide will explain basic mythology while you look through the telescope.
After this brief introduction to astronomy and an initial stargazing experience, get ready for the next stage of the adventure! We will board the bus and leave the city, venturing into the heart of the Patagonian steppe. Without light pollution, you will be able to witness the Milky Way in all its glory!
Our guide will continue explaining and pointing out celestial objects, constellations, planets, and stars with a laser while giving you access to the telescope. To wrap up the experience, we will take a complimentary photo of you under one of the top three best skies in the world!
