Why gift a star map of Cusco?
Gifting a star map of Cusco means capturing the brilliance of Andean stars above the sacred Inca capital, where the sky met the earth for a civilisation that worshipped the Sun and the stars. Whether for a proposal before the ancient walls of Sacsayhuamán or an anniversary in the bohemian quarter of San Blas, this map immortalises a mystical moment beneath one of the purest skies on the planet. A gift as profound and eternal as the Inca legacy.
The sky of Cusco
Sitting at 13° south latitude and 3,400 metres above sea level, Cusco offers one of South America's most spectacular skies. The exceptional altitude and dry Andean air drastically reduce atmospheric thickness, revealing thousands of stars invisible from sea level. The Incas were remarkable astronomers: Qorikancha served as an observatory, and their astronomy included not only bright stars but also 'dark constellations' formed by dust clouds in the Milky Way.
