Centro de Investigaciones Paleontologicas - CIP

Reviewed By KOSGS

Located 15 minutes bus ride outside of Villa de Leyva (take the ng to Santa Sofia), this small museum provides a really interesting activity for those interested in the prehistoric history of the region, and the country in general. 10000 COP to enter and this includes an informative guide in either Spanish or English, and we could tell the guide was incredibly passionate about her job and was very happy to answer all our questions. Probably only need to spend 45 minutes here, but museo El Fósil is conventiently located 100 metres across the road so you’re able to visit both museums in one morning/afternoon.

Astronomical Observatory Tatacoa

Reviewed By gielh2020

The director Guillermo Andrés García Aguirre provided an introduction to the stellar configurations, planets (Jupiter and Saturn), globular clusters, and Milky Way visible on the Southern Sky. Nearby to the observatory we were lying on our back to view the sky. Meanwhile, Guillermo pointed with a laser at triangles of stars that form or are part of a stellar configuration. He spoke in Spanish and English for an audience of Spanish and English speaking people, with excellent pace and contagious enthusiasm. Guillermo and one of his staff members had positioned two Celestron-like telescopes to view planets and deep sky objects like globular clusters. Jupiter and his four moons were visible, and also Saturn and his rings. With a Ph.D. on stellar evolution and having done astronomical observations at the European Southern Observatory at La Silla in Chile, I was delighted about Guillermo's excellent introduction to the Southern Sky, and his knowledge of stellar evolution and astrophysics in general. My wife and I enjoyed the visit and speaking afterwards with Guillermo. Guillermo is an enthusiastic photographer of deep sky objects and is willing to send you photos via Whatsapp using the nickname Astro William.
