Stargaze and explore the world of Mayan astronomy

The stars have secrets to share, and tonight you’ll be part of their story. Let’s embark on a journey through the cosmos together! The beautiful skies above Tulum are the same ones the ancient Mayans studied. We’ll meet up at sunset to observe the skies through a telescope as night falls and the stars emerge. What to expect: • With the help of a laser pointer for guidance, you’ll learn to identify constellations, planets, and various types of stars. • We’ll discuss how the ancient Maya observed and interpreted the sky to create their world view, align their architecture with celestial events, and connect with their spiritual beliefs. • We will be surrounded by one of the most breathtaking skies in the region, the same celestial canvas the Mayans used to develop their calendars. As the sun sets, with telescopes Henry or Stella, you’ll witness the magical transition from day to night while we make a reading of the Mayan Oracle and observe the first stars emerge. This is more than just stargazing—it’s a chance to connect with the universe, the past, and your own inner journey. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! Looking forward on hosting you!
