2.Planetarium Cusco OFFICIAL SITE: Andean Astronomy experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 32 reviews · 2 hours · from $28Best value

Meet your English or Spanish-speaking guide at 17:30 in Regocijo Square, then ride to Planetarium Cusco for an introduction to Inca astronomy, a dome projection of the southern sky, and telescope stargazing when weather allows. The two-hour visit uses small groups, warm blankets, and clear storytelling to connect Andean beliefs with modern astronomy.

“The dome was incredible and it we learned a lot about the inkian astronomy. Sadly we couldn‘t look at the stars because it was cloudy, but it is included if the stars are visible. The pickup also went smoothly. It was a great experience. And we were only a little group, that was also very nice.”
