A night of astronomy, theater, and forest under Tlaxcala's darkest sky

In addition, our actors will tell you fascinating stories in the forest.
Get your jacket ready and join us on this adventure! At the end, you will enjoy a delicious snack prepared especially for you.
NIGHT EXPERIENCES
What will you experience?
🔭 Guided Astronomical Observation: Using telescopes and binoculars, your guide will show you planets, constellations, star clusters, and nebulae visible from the Nanacamilpa forest. No unnecessary jargon — just the universe clearly and amazingly explained.
🎭 Theatrical Storytelling in the Forest: Along the trail, our actors bring to life the stories and myths behind the constellations. A unique way to learn astronomy that no planetarium can replicate.
🔥 Open-Air Bonfire: The night’s gathering and resting spot. Warm firewood, conversation, and the starry sky of Tlaxcala as a backdrop.
🍽️ Country-Style Dinner Included: At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy a dinner specially prepared for the route’s visitors. Real food after a real night.
🌲 Interpretive Night Walk: The forest at night is another forest. Sounds, smells, and textures that don’t exist by day. The walk is an integral part of the experience, not just the path between telescopes.
