We had the chance to get the tip from a taxi driver and he was right. For 20 soles each, we enjoyed watching planets and stars with lots of information in French about it. Then we watched a movie who was explaining the nazca lines and it was very interesting and helpful. I would recommand anyone to go before to flight over the lines because that would help you understand. The guide was absolutely nice and with a great French !

Planetarium Shows every night, lectures on Andean astronomy and others depending on the programming. Observation with the naked eye, stargazing, recognition of the southern stars, western and Andean constellations and observation through astronomical instruments in the observatory if the weather conditions permits.
