Detailed Description
We will meet at Plaza El Regocijo, where we will board a tourist vehicle that will take us to a unique destination: the Llaullipata ecological reserve, located near the impressive Sacsayhuamán Archaeological Park.
Our destination is the Cusco Planetarium, a fascinating place that has been operating with photovoltaic solar energy since 2007 and is committed to preserving the environment and Mother Earth. Equipped with professional telescopes, this site offers an amazing experience for those eager to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos, as long as weather conditions allow.
Upon arrival, we will begin a journey into Inca astronomy. First, in the auditorium, we will learn how the astronomy played an important role in the Inca civilization, from agriculture to sacred rituals.
Next, inside the dome, we will enjoy a spectacular virtual projection of the southern hemisphere’s sky, where an expert will unveil the secrets of Inca constellations such as the Southern Cross and the Milky Way.
If the night sky permits, the experience will culminate with direct telescope observation of celestial bodies, allowing us to admire the stars and appreciate the magic of the Andean constellations.
Finally, we will return to Cusco, concluding our adventure at Plaza El Regocijo, with the memory of a starry night that will remain in our hearts forever.
