HEAVENS ON EARTH
Science And Travel Collide In Mexico

A trip to a Mexican ruin could be in your stars. It’s called
archaeoastronomy, a cross between archaeology and astronomy, and it’s Mexico’s newest tourist draw. Ancient civilizations left evidence of their beliefs through the monuments they built in alignment with the stars. On specially guided tours of the preHispanic cities of Teotihuacan and Chetumal, travelers learn celestial lore and find meaning in architectural remains. E-mail info@arqueoastronomia.com
