1. Planetario Natural Alfa Aldea
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 255 reviews
Located two kilometres from the city of Vicuna and overlooking nine hectares of beautiful and prolific vineyards you can find the 'Alfa Aldea' Natural Planetarium. In this splendid place you can enjoy an unforgettable stellar experience, a different concept of astronomical observation. Our intention is to be always in touch with nature, mirroring the way the first, ancient astronomers watched the skies. The modern astronomical facilities are located in the middle of the vineyards; in order to provide superior service and ensure a wonderful astronomical experience to our visitors a ground-level amphitheatre has been built with a seating capacity of 50 people. The design of the aforementioned building allows the installation of our last-generation telescopes of 10", 12" and 16" inches. All extra accessories (ocular lens suitcases and filters) are included and are available for the tour guide. Personalized tours are available in English and Spanish languages.

Very nice Tour in a familiar and relaxed atmosphere in beautiful vineyard. Group size Maximum of 12. Excellent explanations in spanish and english. Everyone gets the time to watch through the telescope several times. You can ask all that comes to your mind. I even got picked up and brought back to my hostel with no charge. Wine from their vineyard and tomato soup are served. My first ever astronomy tour. Very impressive. Thank you!

Loved this distillery, we were given a tour by the owner in English without any prior reservation and it was just perfect. Started with a taster pisco sour, then the tour, then the tastings of the pisco itself. Really special place, can tell that the family really care for what they do.

What a place! Extremely nice and such clear skies to watch the stars and the galaxies! Awesome! We enjoyed mountain-biking and some walk in the valley. The small village of Alcohuaz is highly recommended and as wine you must taste Rhu! Unique.
