Viaje a las estrellas (Spanish for '"Travel to the Stars"') is the seventh studio album from contemporary Christian music duo Tercer Cielo.[4] The album was released digitally on April 5, 2011 and then on May 3 in physical format. The album was produced and distributed under the Universal Music Latin/Vene Music/Fé y Obra Music/Kasa Productions/Mucho Fruto record labels. The album's lead single, "Tu amor no es de este mundo", was a hit in Latin America and North America. The music video reached over 10 million views on YouTube. The album was produced and written solely by Tercer Cielo member Juan Carlos Rodríguez. To promote the album, Tercer Cielo embarked on an international tour in the Americas and Europe. The album won a Latin Grammy in 2011.
After promoting his previous album, , and having recorded his first live album in the Coliseo of Puerto Rico, Rodríguez began to devote time to the production of a new album. At the end of 2009, Juan Carlos announced via his Twitter account that the duo's album was in the pre-production stage and the title already was chosen.[5] In early 2011, the duo posted a video on YouTube of them working in the recording studio and previewed songs which would be on the album, such as the unreleased track "Estaré" which consists of electronic music and dancepop, marking the duo's first steps into both musical genres. The recording process lasted for two months in both Bryan Studio in the Dominican Republic and Fé Studio in Chandler, Arizona, United States.[6]
