Description
At night, when you take out your binoculars, the sky seems to open up and spill stars overhead. Thanks to the lack of pollution and altitude, the stars and the Milky Way appear brighter than ever.
Uyuni
This tour begins at 8:00 PM. Pick-up will take place at the agreed point in Uyuni or your hotel in Colchani.
2 Uyuni Salt Flat In a private car and with a professional bilingual guide, you will visit the largest and most fantastic salt desert in the world, Salar de Uyuni. One of the best places for observing the night sky. The day will be separated into three stages. One corresponds to the conversation in which you will learn concepts about astronomy. In another stage, you will look at the sky to learn to identify the cardinal points and some zodiacal constellations, as well as information about the Andean worldview. The last stage includes observation through prisms in the open field, so that you can identify the objects that are visible at the time we carry out the activity. These include planets, binary stars, open and globular clusters. In addition, we will perform astrophotography before returning to Uyuni.
3 Uyuni Your tour will end with transfer to your hotel in Uyuni or Colchani, Bolivia.
