Traveler Reviews of Maria Reiche Planetarium

What a good planetarium!

They do a good show we were watching the Nasca Lines and the importance they had for the esoteric teaching related to cosmos representation, religious knowledge and agricultural method. Very good work folks, continue the good job.PS : the staff is really knowledgable and sympathetic in answering any question !

Some memories

There was a big silence in the garden that this small building stands on, its one of the corner...I feel an unexplainable  respect to Maria Reiche..
