The experience begins around 6 pm when we pick you up at your hotel located in the city center and, traveling along Provincial Route No. 11, we will go to the Estancia Tierras Patagónicas 40kms from El Calafate next to the Los Glaciares National Park.
On the way you can enjoy an incredible view of Lake Argentino with the Andes mountain range in the background, as well as the native flora and fauna.
We will arrive at the Estancia Tierras Patagónicas at approximately 7 pm and you will have free time to explore the surroundings of the place and then learn about the history of the place and enjoy the natural environment that surrounds the Stay.
Once the visit is over, we will enjoy a pasta buffet dinner with panoramic views of the hills surrounding the Estancia.
Around 8pm, there will be a small 15-minute film screening that will allow you to introduce yourself to astronomy and anticipate what you will enjoy during the rest of the experience. Once the technical talk is over, we will begin with the stargazing where an astronomer will make the first presentations and guide you on how to look at the sky, use the telescope, learn about the Milky Way, nebulae, stars, constellations, mythology, and much more.
In addition to stargazing, we will do night photography “Astrophotography” and we will also have fun doing Light Painting.
After having enjoyed this incredible experience, we will begin the return to your hotel located in the center of the city of El Calafate around 10 pm.
