Astro Experience – Legado das Águas

From the beginning, we looked at the sky and asked ourselves: How did the universe come about? What is the origin of life? Will humanity exist forever? Is there life in other planets? Where are we in the universe?

To answer these and other questions, we brought, in partnership with the Science Research and Teaching Group, another incredible experience in the Atlantic Forest: the Astro Experience!

We are surrounded by mountain ranges and away from urban centers, which makes it possible to observe planets, star cradles, dead stars, clusters and other galaxies – all with the support of astronomy experts!
