Questions
Altitude reality?
Lodge sits at 8,000 ft. Excursions go to 14,000+ ft (Geyser del Tatio at 4,300m / 14,200 ft). Day 1 should be light — no heavy hike, drink water, skip alcohol the first night.
Stargazing — really world-class?
Yes. Atacama has the clearest skies on Earth (it's why ESO and ALMA observatories are here). Private observatory sessions $80-150/person, 3-night clear-sky guarantee.
Best month?
September-November or March-May. June-August is cold (-5°C nights) but still dry. December-February is summer-rainy.
