The Andean sky during the day is clear blue and immensely beautiful. At night it is even more perfect, unimaginable and like being a part of the universe, it is something you should witness with your own eyes. Kallpa and its expert astrophotography guides invite you to spend one or more nights under the starry sky of the southern hemisphere during your South American Tour. Surrounded by the majestic mountains and guided by the moonlight that will accompany you on your walks.
The Incas, our ancestors, closely followed the night sky, particularly for agricultural and ceremonial purposes, throughout the territories such as Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador.
The Incan calendar was the basis of civilization for the wise astronomers of the great Incan empire. They built this calendar guided by the starry nights and the moon. Along with the Milky Way, the constellations played an essential role in marking time and defining social and economic activities. This trip will allow you to experience this magical gift that the universe shares with us, a sky full of twinkling stars, like a work of art.
