With astrotourism on the uptick, Chile stands out to travelers seeking authentic experiences under the stars. While northern Chile is known for Its desert climate, minimal light pollution and clear skies, Patagonia also provides an unspoiled view of the night sky. This time of year in southern Chile visitors can witness the breathtaking southern lights (aurora australis) — a natural phenomenon that paints the horizon with vibrant colors.
The Singular Patagonia, in a prime location, is surrounded by towering mountains, azure icebergs, and serene gray waters, making the experience more special. After stargazing, guests come back to the Singular Suite, featuring expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, framing the infinite skies so guests can admire the celestial sky from the comfort of their room. The Singular Patagonia continues to encourage visitors to pause and connect with the surroundings at their own pace.
For enthusiasts looking to dive deeper, northern Chile is home to world class observatories, like Paranal Observatory and ALMA, attracting those eager to explore the mysteries of the cosmos after marveling at the southern lights. Travelers can combine a trip to both sides of Chile, making for a well-rounded perspective and diverse landscape. Every day is an opportunity to become part of the landscape: a sunset walk along the fjord, a navigation to ancient glaciers, or a dinner that celebrates local flavors under a starry sky.
