The skies have been human's fascination ever since beginnings of time. Human curiosity has triggered a spark towards the questioning about our roll in the immensity of the cosmos.

In the process of searching for answers, many aspects of cultures and nations were encountered. Those answers have been the ones that lead to the creation of beautiful mythologies, to the development of science and a naturalistic conception. This way, cultures were able to express spirituality, agriculture, architecture and to convey their knowledge of unique traditions, which is named Cosmovision.

Planetarium Cusco wants to be more then a cultural center, more than an observatory, it wants to be the opportunity for us to feel as part of the universe and it wants to share with us this educational experience, both inspiring and entertaining.
