Great evening in the southern hemisphere! - We bought last minute tickets including the shuttle for our family with two teens. We waited to see if the sky was going to be clear. The staff was very easy to work with our reservation. We met at the instructed square in Cusco for the short ride to the planetarium.
We learned a lot about the night sky in Cusco, they provided blankets to wrap up in outside if we were cold for the telescope viewing. We were given plenty of time through 3 different telescopes to see different planets and constellations.
We then went into the dome to learn all about how the Incas viewed the stars and their beliefs from long ago.
A great way to spend an evening in Cusco!!
