Tips for the perfect visit to Sky Costanera 

  • Sky Costanera’s USP is the stunning views it offers of the surrounding landscape. You should check the weather beforehand to make the most of your visit, as spotting some of the more distant landmarks like the Andes can be tricky during hazy conditions. 
  • The rains often do a great job at dissipating the haze, and visiting after a light shower can be a great time to spot some of the more distant Andean hills and snow-capped peaks. 
  • The glass windows can create lots of reflections based on the direction of the sunlight. Using a polarizing filter on your phone or camera can cut down on these reflections, resulting in clearer pictures. 
  • You should aim to visit about 60 to 90 minutes before sunset for the best views. The crowds are thinner, which means you get to secure a spot closer to the glass edge. The setting sun and the city slowly lighting up make for unmatched views! 
  • What’s more, you can then savor a delectable snack and some of the best regional blends at Sky 300 Bar & Coffee. Keep in mind that you will need tickets to Sky Costanera to access this restaurant-cum-bar. 
  • The glass panels at the observatory create tons of reflections throughout the day. Two things can help: attaching a polarizing filter to your camera gets you crisper images, and wearing darker, matte clothing leads to fewer reflections on the glass.
