On July 2, 2019, join us to witness a total solar eclipse at a unique location—the north of Chile, home to world-class astronomical observatories. Enjoy special access to state-of the art observatories in the desert including: the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA, the world’s most powerful radio telescope, Paranal, home to the Very Large Telescope, and the Gemini South Telescope, an 8.1-meter telescope. Your journey also includes an exploration of the Atacama Desert and some of the most extraordinary landscapes of our planet—volcanoes, evaporated salt lakes, lagoons, and hot springs as well as a host of animal life. Top this off with stargazing in the Southern Hemisphere. Visit the Elqui Valley, a pisco distillery and Isla Demas part of the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve. Conclude your adventure with lunch and a tasting of select vintages in Chile’s Maipo Valley wine-producing region.
