What you can expect

  • Embark on a magical experience with our stargazing tour: Stargazing and Mayan Cosmovision. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of ancient astronomy and discover how the Mayans interpreted the night sky to guide their lives, understand time, and connect with the universe.

    During this tour, you'll learn about the Mayan worldview, their calendars, and the importance of constellations in their culture. You'll have the opportunity to identify constellations, star clusters, the moon in detail, and, if the sky allows, some visible planets.

    But the experience doesn't stop there. While the sky amazes us, you'll also be able to connect with the richness of nocturnal nature. In this magical, wild setting, you can spot night herons, crocodiles stealthily emerging from the water, and raccoons in their natural habitat. All in an environment full of life and mystery, where sky and earth come together to offer you an unforgettable show.

    Dare to experience a night filled with stars, nature, and ancient knowledge!
