Accessibility Arrangements in the Organization
Astronomy Tours S. COOP operates primarily at Finca Astronómica, a rural, off-grid venue located in a natural environment.
Due to the nature of the location, accessibility is limited and differs from standard urban or fully adapted facilities.
Access & Terrain
-
The property features gravel paths, uneven terrain, and low-light conditions
-
Movement across the site requires caution, especially at night
-
Access may be challenging for individuals with reduced mobility
Wheelchair Access
-
The venue is not fully wheelchair accessible
-
However, mobile wheelchair users may participate at their own discretion, understanding the limitations of the terrain
Facilities
-
A toilet is available on-site, located within approximately 20 meters of main activity areas
-
The toilet is not wheelchair accessible
-
No showers are available on the property
Environment
-
The finca is a rural working environment with:
-
Animals present (including free-roaming and working dogs)
-
Natural elements (dust, insects, uneven surfaces)
-
Lighting Conditions
-
Activities take place in low-light conditions to preserve night vision
-
Artificial lighting is minimized as part of the astronomical experience
Support & Assistance
-
Our team is available to provide basic guidance and support, where possible
-
However, due to the nature of the environment, full assistance services cannot be guaranteed

Accessible Astronomy
Astronomy Tours actively promotes accessible and inclusive astronomy through its programs, including Astronomy Without Borders.
We provide Accessible Astronomy experiences designed to make astronomy available to a wide range of participants, including individuals with different accessibility needs.
Our approach includes:
-
Adapted educational formats
-
Guided and assisted participation
-
Flexible experience design focused on inclusion and understanding

Use of modern technology with Astronomy Assistance Capabilities.
Accessibility in our work is not limited to our venue.
We also deliver mobile and outreach experiences, bringing astronomy directly to:
-
Schools
-
Institutions
-
Community groups
-
Participants who are unable to travel to our locations
This allows us to reach individuals for whom participation at Finca Astronómica may not be possible.
Our approach prioritizes accessibility through content, guidance, and educational delivery, rather than infrastructure alone.

Astronomy Without Borders
Important Considerations
Due to the rural and off-grid nature of Finca Astronómica:
-
Full physical accessibility is limited
-
Terrain includes gravel, uneven surfaces, and low-light conditions
-
Facilities are not fully adapted
Accessible participation at this location is therefore:
assessed individually for each experience
Limitations
While we strive to ensure full accessibility, some content may not yet be fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards.
This may include:
-
Third-party content
-
External integrations or embedded elements
We are working to improve accessibility in these areas where possible.
Requests, issues, and suggestions
If you encounter an accessibility issue or require assistance, we encourage you to contact us.
We will make every reasonable effort to provide the information or service in an accessible format.
