What you will do
You will begin the tour at the Teide Observatory, where you will take a guided tour in the afternoon. There, your Starlight guide (specialist in observing the night sky) will explain the importance of the Canary Islands sky, the observatory's telescopes and the different projects of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. You will also enjoy the sun like never before, since you will be able to observe its spots and flares through the telescope.
You will see the sunset from the Observatory itself, a unique spectacle in which the sun sets behind El Teide. A range of colors will adorn the views of the volcano and the ocean.
Once at night we will go to the base of the Teide Cable Car and, away from the light pollution of urban areas, you will discover the secrets of the firmament in astronomical observation with the naked eye and with a long-range telescope . And it is that from El Teide you can see 83 of the 88 officially recognized constellations.
You will discover stars, planets, galaxies and clusters like you never imagined, while your Starlight guide shows you the constellations, the celestial map and provides you with interesting information about the objects you observe. Marvel at the immensity of the universe and live an experience like no other, in one of the most visited national parks in the world.
It also includes a stop to eat something. You choose whether to bring your own snack, use the Cable Car vending machines or buy the optional picnic along with your Astronomical Tour with a visit to the Teide Observatory.
