Our Philosophy
Every experience offered by Stargazing with Loreto is inspired by the relationship
between Astronomy, Nature and Well-being —
three elements that are never truly separate beneath an open sky.
You are not simply here to observe the stars.
You are here to experience the night — with all your senses, in complete stillness,
in one of the most extraordinary natural settings on earth.
01
Astronomy
The southern sky is one of the world's most extraordinary natural spectacles. Loreto brings it closer — through story, science and silence — making the invisible visible.
02
Nature
Each journey begins before the stars appear. The Elqui Valley at dusk — its scents, its silence, its mountains turning gold — is as much a part of the experience as the night sky itself.
03
Well-being
There is something deeply restorative about standing beneath an open sky in complete stillness. Every evening is designed to slow you down, reconnect you with the present, and leave you changed.
04
Inspired by the Night Sky
Located in the Coquimbo Region, the Elqui Valley offers one of the world's clearest skies. The southern celestial sphere — Magellanic Clouds, the South Celestial Pole, the arc of the Milky Way — becomes the backdrop for every meaningful moment.

Your guide
Stargazing with Loreto · by Collasuyo Astronómico
Loreto was born and raised in Chile's Elqui Valley, where the mountains, crystal-clear skies and local traditions shaped her lifelong connection with nature.
For nearly a decade, she has been creating meaningful outdoor experiences that bring together astronomy, local heritage and well-being in a natural and authentic way. Her approach goes beyond interpreting the night sky — every experience is thoughtfully designed to help guests slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the universe through moments of wonder, presence and genuine human connection.
As the founder of Collasuyo Astronómico, Loreto combines deep local knowledge with a passion for creating elegant, intimate and memorable experiences inspired by one of the world's clearest skies.
The Setting
Villaseca sits inside the Los Loros ravine, 5 km southeast of Vicuña — surrounded by the Andes, held in silence, and covered by a sky that has been revered for thousands of years. This is where every experience begins.
