We had a fabulous visit at this wonderful attraction. They picked us up at one of the main squares in Cusco, took us to the planetarium site, just as the sun was setting. The very enthusiastic staff provided an entertaining and informative description of the southern hemisphere night sky, the Inca view of the heavens, and even the agricultural and... More

We decided to go to this after reading a couple reviews. it was interestig to book, you need to call in the morning to set up your visit. They instruct you where to meet and then they come pick you up at that location to visit the Planetarium. The briefing they give you basically gives a lot of insight into... More

The staff at the Planetarium was very nice and very enthusiastic. They provided us a lot of interesting and hands on knowledge about the Incas and how they used the night sky to help found a civilization. It was a fun and different experience.

The staff at the planetarium is very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. That translates to the audience immediately. They care about your comfort and provide you with warm tea and blankets on cold nights. They also indulge your questions and speak to you and either Spanish or English depending on your needs. This is a great activity... More

A wonderful little gem in Cusco City. The bus picks you up early evening from one of the squares and takes you to the planetarium on the hill side overlooking the city. First an introductory talk (English and Spanish options done separately) which was wide ranging about the history of the stars and its uses - for example in agriculture.... More

Through their telescope, we were able to observe different planets and the moon, very clearly. It was amazing to be given an explanation of astronomy from the point of view of the... More

Great place to visit before visiting the inca ruins in Cusco! :) they are also very friendly and they offer you some coca tea and blankets if you feel too cold. Better to go visit around winter time where the sky is clearer.

If you even a passing interest in astronomy, science, or the advancement of the Inca civilization I highly recommend this site! You have to meet the van at the small square adjacent to the Plaza de Armas and then you will be driven to a remote location (don't worry!) about 15 min away. My wife and I were there with... More

The Cusco Planetarium is a delightful addition to the overall cultural experience found in this part of the Andes. My wife and I were delighted by the presentations especially the opportunity to view several southern hemisphere deep sky objects through the telescopes at the Planetarium site. Of especial note is the care the presenters gave to describing Inka constellations, which... More
