Tour Description
Today, our adventure begins at the designated meeting point, which we will confirm beforehand, as we head towards the distinctive area of Ayllú de Coyo. Here, we will have the opportunity to marvel at the night sky as it unfolds before us.
Initially, we will engage in a session of stargazing using specialized equipment, allowing us to gain deeper insights into astronomical phenomena. We will discuss details such as the distance of stars from Earth, as well as their dimensions, temperatures, and more. This enlightening session is expected to last approximately 50 minutes.
Following a short break, during which we will enjoy some delightful coffee and snacks, we will proceed to the second segment of our tour, where we will observe the sky without any equipment. With our own eyes, we will identify the constellations visible at that time and delve into the Greek and Andean cosmovision. We will explore their cultural perspectives, how indigenous peoples interpreted the constellations, and their beliefs regarding life after death.
This fusion of science and culture in one tour provides an enriching and unparalleled experience. It offers us the chance to not only learn about the universe but also to immerse ourselves in the worldview of local communities, appreciating how they have revered and interpreted the sky throughout history.
