We report the construction of a high-resolution, low-cost spectrograph for astronomical and physical observations at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota. The instrument is fed by means of an optical fiber from the telescope or from any other equipment. A resolution of 105 can be attained for sufficiently luminous objects. With the presently available telescope facilities, useful spectra of first-magnitude stars are obtained with exposures of 10 minutes, at a resolution of 27000. Redshift measurements exhibit an uncertainty around 10-7 when the S/N ratio is sufficiently high. The nickname ESPARTACO stands for “Espectrografo de Alta Resolucion para Trabajos Astronomicos en Colombia”.
