Highlights
Discover a unique night experience in Cusco that blends astronomy with ancient Andean knowledge. Unlike traditional tours, this visit to the Planetarium goes beyond stargazing by revealing how the Incas interpreted the sky and connected constellations with nature and daily life. What makes it truly special is the combination of immersive dome projections, cultural storytelling, and real telescope observation under the southern sky. With a short transfer from the city, small groups, and expert explanations, this tour offers an authentic and educational way to experience the stars from the heart of the Andes.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
