Join us on this special trip, going back several centuries to get closer to the last original settlers. Here there were many wise observers of the Universe, who interpreted the sky by visualizing figures that reflected the circumstances in which they lived. Through this tour we will not only learn more about astronomy but also learn more about how the locals, likan antay or atacameños read the sky, as well as knowing more about their religiosity, culture and beliefs. Reserve your place with us!

    Our day will be divided into two parts, dividing into two groups to participate first in one talk and then in the other. First we will make an observation of the night sky with equipment, where we can learn more about what we are observing, such as the distance of the stars with the planet Earth, the dimensions, temperature, etc. This first talk will have an estimated duration of 50 minutes. After a break of approximately 20 minutes where we will enjoy a delicious coffee and snack, we will begin our second part where we will observe the sky without the use of equipment. We can see with our eyes the constellations that accompany us at that time, while we learn about the Greek and Andean cosmo-vision, their culture, how they saw the constellations and their conception of life after death. This talk will also last 50 minutes.
