Skies in the region are amazing and star gazing is a must while traveling through Valle del Elqui, Turismo Migrante made this experience super special, very knowledgeable team, tasty pisco sour to star and a beautiful sky to complete the tour. They also have a photographer that will capture this amazing moment for your group included on the price!!! Great package, and you can always come back during different seasons to check the change on the sky!!

We had a wonderful experience stargazing on our first night in Pisco Elqui! Our guide, Etienne provided a tremendous amount of information on astronomy and pointed out constellations, nebulae, the Milky Way, and even the ISS. Francisca was our English translator, which we highly recommend because we would have missed out on a lot of interesting information. We also had our photo taken under the Milky Way and received an amazing digital copy in a couple of days. We highly recommend Astro Experience!

Excellent tour to see the stars, with the photographer and driver Leonidas, who was very pleasant, and Cristopher, the tour presenter. We were able to see several stars and Saturn!! It was an incredible experience. The best thing is that the price ($30,000) includes a delicious pisco sour and the beautiful photograph taken by Leonidas, which relieved us a lot to not have to worry about our cell phone and be able to capture the best photo. 100% recommended.

The guide was excellent, spoke good English and was knowledgeable.
Unfortunately, I felt scammed by the company……after signing up with a group of 12 for an English tour, I was told that they made a mistake, tours are conducted in Spanish and we would have to pay 10,000 peso /person extra for an English translator. When I said this was too much, they agreed to reduce it to USD5/person. In fact the guide spoke good English and there was no translator.

We LOVE Turismo Migrantes! The staff is so friendly and accommodating! I originally booked our tours back in 2019 but Covid delayed our trip until the fall of 2022. During that time, I reached out several times to Turismo Migrantes to ask questions and adjust our reservations and they were always so nice. I was so appreciative of their great customer service because this was my first time planning tours internationally and I was so nervous that I would make a mistake or miss important details. I can’t thank them enough for their great customer service. Barbara is amazing! And our tour guide, Leonidas, was incredible! He was so knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Turismo Migrantes! Our stargazing adventure was a gift to my daughter in celebration of her college graduation, and Turismo Migrantes did a wonderful job, we had a great time!! Thank you Turismo Migrantes!!!!! You’re the best!!!

¡Puedo adivinar que eres Shanon! Te enviamos nuestras felicitaciones porque organizar un viaje a distancia puede ser difícil para lograr dar con los servicios locales y tú lo hiciste perfectamente. Nosotros comprendemos eso y nos esforzamos en estar al nivel de la expectativa de los viajeros internaciones que buscan en nosotros un amigo en el destino valle de Elqui. Esperamos volver a verlas. Saludos de Bárbara.

My wife and I did the tour with our children - 10 and 8. It was fantastic. The guide spoke excellent English and his knowledge of astronomy was great. He was also great with the children and ensured he answered all of their questions and his enthusiasm and passion was evident. Our children were totally engaged the whole night even though it was late and they cannot stop talking about the planets (Jupiter, Saturn and mars) and stars (Sirius and a nebulas) they saw. Thanks for an amazing experience.

The tour guide was like an encyclopedia of astronomy. He spoke English well did a good job explaining things. There were about 24 people on the tour, but he did a good job moving things along. The photos are great and pisco sour was nice.

Great experience. Traveled up the mountain to an observation point, there was a telescope there and we were guided through observing various constellations/ astronomical sights in the sky. Learned a lot!

Hola, la recogida en el hotel es en el valle o puede ser en la serena también? Estoy interesada en reservar 4 espacios para el miércoles 1 de octubre, pero no veo teléfono o mail de contacto con el guía para preguntar antes de hacer el pago
