MWT Associates, Inc. specializes in astronomical tours and exciting astronomical vacations. We plan and organize travel arrangements to far away places such as the Atacama Desert of Chile to the Chaco Region of Paraguay to safaris in Zambia and Zimbabwe. These destinations require special expertise and advanced planning coordinating the astronomical event.

Our experts make the culture, history, art and architecture of these prime astronomical viewing regions come alive.

Our company's philosophy is simple: Take you to the very best astronomical site with the highest potential of clear skies, best weather conditions, while you enjoy a first class vacation.

I personally invite you to join the family of friends who have enjoyed our astronomical tours for 27 years. Come with us on one of these amazing astronomical journeys.
