An optional visit to the ALMA Telescope following the workshop is planned for participants, leaving Santiago de Chile on the afternoon of Friday, April 11 and returning to Santiago on Sunday, April 13. This visit requires flying to the town of Calama, Chile, and two nights of stay at the town of San Pedro de Atacama, implying an extra expense estimated to be about US$ 1 000. The LOC will facilitate arrangements for the visit, but no financial support will be provided for this purpose to participants.
Due to the height of the ALMA Observatory (over 5,000 m above sea level) the visit is not advisable for
persons, unless they are in good health. Participants should obtain a medical exam prior to the visit.
From the ALMA website:
The high site of ALMA (Chajnantor, 5,000m) has some significant safety constraints. Visitors are required
to participate in a paramedic medical check-up (blood pressure, blood oxygen level) at the OSF (Operations
Support Facility, 2,900m). Those who do not pass the test will not be allowed to continue to Chajnantor.
Additionally, visitors must sign an acknowledgement and release form before being escorted to Chajnantor.
Detailed information about high altitude health issues can be found at the
ALMA High Altitude Fact Sheet.
