Our Experiences
In our group presentations we start at 18:00 in Cusco´s Planetarium. We provide the transportation round trip.
Our meeting point is Regocijo´s square (also known as Plaza Cusipata) from the middleof the plaza, next to the fountain. We will pick up all visitors at 17:30 , we only wait 10 minutes. Then we walk a couple of blocks to the car that will take us to the planetarium. It is a 10-15minutes ride. The way back is also included.
Every group can be from 4 to 22 people, and we can receive up to two groups simultaneously. Furthermore we offer our visitors tours in English and Spanish.
