Elqui Domos – Where The Universe Reveals Itself

Location:

Paiguano Chile South America
AstronomyNatureTent

Where the crystal crags of the Andes meet the Atacama Desert, there is a magical land where the skies are clear 300 days of the year. The annual melting of snow from the mountains feeds a valley more green against the pure blue skies. It is the home to many international observatories and the site of many UFO sightings. It is a center for the healing arts, and it is the home for the Elquis Domas, a unique 'dome hotel'.

The rooms are on two levels, with comfortable ground floor lodgings and a retractable domed roof so you can spend your evenings lost in the stars that hang like ancient dust in the black sky. Elqui Domos's experience comes with an astronomic observatory that will allow you to peer far into space and time, seeing sights usually reserved for astronomers and astronauts. The hotel specializes in night-time activities and organizes midnight walks and horse treks for you to enjoy on silent nights. During the day, there is a restaurant, social area and swimming pool.
