Complete Guide: What to Bring on the Astronomical Tour in San Pedro de Atacama - My Travel Experience
San Pedro de Atacama is known for being one of the best places in the world for stargazing. If you are planning an astronomical tour in this magical Chilean desert, it is crucial to prepare properly to make the most of this unique experience. In this blog, I will share my personal experience and give you a detailed guide on what to bring for the astronomical tour.
ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE WITH ATACAMA TOURS
To make your astronomical experience truly unforgettable, I recommend the services of Atacama Tours. They offer a very complete tour that includes a delicious cocktail-table to enjoy during the tour, pick up and return to your accommodation, plus a fascinating astronomical talk with the guide Jhonatan, who will reveal the secrets of the universe, the best part! While observing with professional telescopes, but wait, there's more, you will have the opportunity to capture this memory with the professional photographs included in the tour, this is definitely another highlight, allowing you to admire the majesty of the sky of San Pedro de Atacama forever!
PROPER CLOTHING: BE PREPARED FOR THE DESERT
The weather in San Pedro de Atacama can be surprisingly variable. During the day, you can enjoy warm, sunny temperatures, but at night, the desert cools down quickly. Take light and comfortable clothes for the day, as well as your sunscreen, and don't forget a warm jacket for the night, remember that it should preferably be light-colored, and bring a hat and gloves. Yes! Take them, you will need them.
COMFORTABLE FOOTWEAR: GET READY TO EXPLORE
Although the astronomical tour takes place in accessible locations, it is a good idea to wear comfortable walking shoes. Opt for lightweight boots that allow you to move around easily and enjoy the views without worry, the desert can be surprisingly cold at night due to the altitude, so it is essential to bring adequate warm clothing.
Doing the tour with Atacama Tours was an experience that surpassed everything I imagined! From the very first moment, I knew I had made the right decision. The location of the tour is perfect; being away from the town, the sky is incredibly clear, without the city lights that can make it difficult to see the sky perfectly. The stars, the sky, everything, looked beautiful!
The Atacama Tours team took care of everything with such care and dedication that I didn't have to worry because they included transportation and every detail to make sure the night was magical. And the professional photos they took... They were simply breathtaking! They captured every special moment under that starry sky and now I have memories I will treasure forever.
If you are thinking of taking this tour, I highly recommend it. It is an experience that will make you fall in love with the sky like never before, you won't regret it! Be sure to check the best season for your visit taking into account the astronomical events and get ready for an unforgettable night, enjoy this astronomical wonder to the fullest!
