In the heart of the Atacama Desert, between sand, salt lakes, multicolored lagoons, and majestic volcanoes, you will find yourself on an adventure surrounded by the beauty of an environment waiting to be discovered.
Visit the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) site and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) observatory. The transparency of the sky during most of the year will allow you to contemplate the magnificence of the southern sky which offers unique views of the Milky Way and of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (the closest external galaxies) and much more.
The trip is enhanced with visits to hot springs, the geothermal Tatio Geysers, the acclaimed Le Paige Museum, The ALMA, the most powerful radio observatory on Earth (currently under construction), the Chuquicamata, the biggest open pit copper mine in the world and as well as a tour of the Cousino-Macul vineyards.
