Astronomy Tour
Enjoy an epic astronomy experience in the heart of Teide National Park, one of the best places in the world to see the stars at night on the magical island of Tenerife.
Using professional telescopes we will discover the secrets hidden in the firmament; its most famous nebulae and galaxies, the planets of the Solar System, and The Moon with its craters and valleys.
In addition, we will see the stars more relevant and their groupings in globular clusters or binary stars in the telescope, being able to see some surprises that we do not see with the naked eye.

The magic of Teide
Teide is, along with the Atacama Desert in Chile and the inactive Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, one of the three privileged enclaves for astronomical observation. By traveling a few kilometers from any point on the island, we can reach 2000 meters in height which, together with its location in the middle of the Atlantic, will allow us to see, depending on the time of year, up to 83 of the 88 existing constellations.
