Trip

Our trip will take place in October and November 2009, during which time we will visit Peru, Bolivia and Chile.

Our choice for this was based on the deep tradition South America has in astronomy.  These three countries in particular share the heritage of the great Inca culture, undoubtedly one of the most important pre-Columbian civilizations. We have drawn our roadmap through the Altiplano, the highland plateau of the Andes, which offers a high sky purity and coincides with the location of the Inca empire.
