We spend one week in Astronomer's Paradise.  With views of the sky so stunning the summer milky way casts a shadow on the ground. Often, astronomers challenge each other to spot objects reflected in the calm lake, or reflected in hotel windows.  Some visitors have even reported observing through the hotel window with binoculars. Our high altitude and calm seeing provide arguably the highest contrast views of any observing site on earth.

Our telescopes are set up just steps from the hotel room with good food, a warm bed, friendly hosts and fascinating daytime activities.  After 15 years at the same high quality hotel resort, we have the luxury of a roll-off roof observatory with 22" and two 10" telescopes for visiting astronomers to use.  Those who like to bring their own scopes can plug into provided electrical supply right on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
