We had a large group go, and it was an exciting nighttime activity. I do wish I got to learn more, rather than just be told to look inside a telescope and observe the stars. If we had more time this might have been feasible, but for a short trip it was quite fun and relaxing to look up at the sky.

This place was lots of fun. They are a family owed and operated. It was cloudy the night that we went, but during the occasional break in clouds they would stop what they were talking about and take us outside so we could see through the telescope. They very informative and very knowledge about. The Planetarium dome was amazing! It was fun to hear about all the southern hemisphere constellation and also the Inca constellations. Overall I would definitely recommend going here if you are in Cusco!
Amazing experience. Highly recommend and worth the cost. Hosts explained history of Inka and Peruvian stars/astrology clearly and with so much passion. You could tell they love the night sky. They made a huge effort to show us stars/constellations even with some clouds and we saw many wonderful things. History explaination and dome were informative! Loved it.
Friendly and enthusiastic family run planetarium with a real passion for what they do. We learned a lot about both European and Incan astronomy and were able to use some great telescopes.
Interesting and entertaining! Well done star presentation with information about the stars in the southern hemisphere, and very good, if a little brief, info on the Incans and their knowledge and use of stars and constellations.
Great evening activity if you're in Cusco for a few days. This is a family run place and they really care about getting their visitors the best experience possible! There's a presentation on the night sky and weather permitting they set up telescopes afterwards to show you points of interest. It was kind of cloudy when I went and we still got to see Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and a few very cool star clusters!
One of the best experience in Cusco! The family staff presentation is very good.
We made a reservation with these guys and on the day of the tour, we were told that if the night continued to be cloudy, it would be cancelled. Night came and the sky was cloudy, but they never cancelled it and took us to the planetarium anyway. The explanation inside was nice with an interesting video to watch. Once it was time to go outside and check out the sky, they rolled in some telescopes and showed us a blip of what was supposed to be Mars. Took possibly a minute of our time and that's it, we didn't see anything else. Everyone around was just hanging out with the dog instead because the view was underwhelming. They went ahead and charged full price even after they admitted there wasn't much to see in the sky... this took a lot of time considering meeting up, the drive, the "tour", and the drive back. This wasn't cheap either for being in Peru. You're better off using that time checking the other sights in Cusco that's included in the City Pass
