Begin your experience with a convenient pickup from your hotel. Meet your driver and fellow participants, then head to the site. Once you arrive, settle into a lounge chair and get cozy with a blanket. Listen to your guide as they share their knowledge of astronomy and ancestral worldviews. After the talk, enjoy a cocktail hour to socialize and get to know each other as a group, featuring both hot and cold beverages. Next, enjoy a guided telescope observation and an astrophotography session. Your guide will locate and point out planets, stars, nebulae, star clusters, and whatever else is in the sky during your visit.
