Description

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.

This specific experience is calm, atmospheric evenings for guests 18+.
Astronomy Night is also  offered in several other formats:
Family Astronomy Nights (Saturday) –relaxed and educational, welcoming curious minds of all ages and levels of curiosity
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.

  • Night Stay for those Guests who choose to stay the night in Finca Astronomica

    If you stay the night in Finca Astronomica, after the tour is finished, the bar is still open for one more hour and the bonfire is on. You can enjoy the Finca in the night time freely just maintaining the basic rules not to disturb the guests who have chosen to call it a night when Finca is officially closed (1 hour after the regular finish time). Remember Finca Astronomica is a rural fully off grid and sustainable place so electricity in the night time is limited. There's access to hot water and basic facilities but as for now Finca doesn't offer showers.
    Gate will be closed during the night. Finca will be opening the gates at 8.00am in the morning and coffee and tea will be offered.
    Check out is at 10.00am

  • Breakfast for guests staying the Night

    Tea and Coffee are available since 8.00am and you can order your breakfast then as well. There's a selection of options available. Breakfast is served at 9.00am
