Eclipse Over Ancient Ruins: Exclusive Archaeo-Astronomy Tour

Watch totality descend over a UNESCO-listed ancient site as a specialist archaeo-astronomer traces how early civilisations worshipped this very phenomenon. An once-in-a-lifetime convergence of history and the cosmos.

What to expect

A pre-dawn transfer delivers your intimate group to the archaeological site before general admission opens. Your guide illuminates how the ancients built solar alignments into stone — and then the sky proves the point dramatically as totality arrives. The corona crowns the ruins in an image few humans in history have witnessed. After totality a private catered breakfast is served within the site grounds.
