If you love observing the sky <\/strong>and its constellations, if you’re eager to learn about the astronomical knowledge and advancements of the Incas<\/strong>, and if you’re curious to gaze at the Andean sky through a dome, then we look forward to welcoming you on our tour<\/strong> to the Inca Planetarium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 15 minutes from the Historic Centre<\/a><\/strong>, in the Llaullipata Ecological Reserve, you’ll find a traditional house with adobe<\/strong> walls and red tiles, a dwelling similar to many that can still be seen in the fields of Cusco. This is, in fact, the Planetarium<\/strong> \u2014 a space dedicated to the observation and dissemination of Inca astronomy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This planetarium is located within the Saqsaywaman archaeological park<\/strong>, which adds an extra dose of mysticism <\/strong>to the informative talk, the projection of the Southern Hemisphere sky<\/strong> in the dome, and the search for stars through a professional telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make up your mind to explore the Inca sky with us. Set aside an evening to gaze at stars<\/strong>, planets, nebulae, and constellations. You\u2019ll be left amazed and in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n
