Stargazing in the Alentejo
PORTUGAL , PRIVATE , ADVENTURE
The light never fades in the Alentejo; not even at night. In fact, while the sky may turn dark after the sun goes down, the stars within become a vivid, seemingly endless dazzlement of light.
In fact, that contrast between the dark night sky and the illumination of the stars, planets, and galaxies within it, is one of the things that make the Alentejo a rare and special place on Earth. Portugal is world-renowned for being one of the top places in the world to observe the night sky, thanks to the creation of the 3,000 sq km reserve in Portugal’s central Alentejo region.
During this heavenly experience, you’ll be guided on a private tour of constellations and planets, as well as the Milky Way and the Orion Nebula.
With excellent weather, and very little cloud cover, light pollution or heavy air traffic, the Alentejo makes the perfect place to observe the night sky!
This experience can also be paired with night kayaking, night walking, or blind tastings of Alentejo wines.
