Astronomy Night - Stargazing Experience in Finca Astronomica

5 hours

Easy

An immersive stargazing experience at Finca Astronómica in Cartagena. Enjoy dinner, bonfire, telescopes, and live astrophotography under the stars — available as Adults-Only, Family, or Private editions, suitable for all ages and levels of curiosity.

Step into a night where science, nature, and wonder meet.
At Finca Astronómica in Cartagena, we invite you to disconnect from city lights and experience the universe as few ever do — through professional telescopes, guided talks, and live astrophotography in an authentic rural setting.

Each Astronomy Night combines education, relaxation, and discovery.
Guests enjoy free time to explore the finca and its animals, share dinner under the open sky, gather by the bonfire with marshmallows, and then take part in a complete astronomical program — including laser-guided constellation tours, optical and robotic telescope observations, live astrophotography streamed to a screen, and big-screen astronomical presentations.

Our events are offered in several formats:
Adults-Only Nights (Fridays) – calm, atmospheric evenings for guests 18+.
Family Nights (Saturdays) – relaxed and educational, welcoming curious minds of all ages.
Private Astronomy Nights (Sunday–Thursday) – exclusive group experiences tailored to your interests.

Optional overnight stays in glamping pods or yurts are available for those who wish to extend the experience. Wake up surrounded by silence, sunrise colours, and the lingering memory of the stars.

Whether you come as a family, a couple, or a group of friends, every visit offers something different — the night sky itself never repeats.
