Detailed itinerary
1
This tour begins at 20:00 PM. The pick up will take place at the agreed point in Uyuni or your hotel in Colchani.
2
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 on 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. Among these are planets, binary stars, open clusters, and globulars. In addition, we will do astrophotography before returning to Uyuni.
