Teide Stargazing Tour from South Tenerife
Teide Stargazing Tour from South Tenerife
Between 2:15 and 4:30 pm, we'll pick you up from your chosen meeting point and leave South Tenerife behind to head to the Teide National Park. Spain's highest peak awaits!
The minibus will take us to the Teide Observatory, an astronomical complex consisting of several laboratories and different solar and night telescopes. We'll take a guided tour of its facilities to learn all about the important discoveries that have been made here.
As we explore the Teide Observatory, we'll explain why Tenerife is one of the best places in the world for astronomical observation. Here's a hint! The altitude of the island and the absence of light and air pollution have a lot to do with it.
From the observatory, we'll admire a breathtaking sunset. We'll watch as the sun dips behind the sea of clouds around the Teide and causes the sky to glow with the gentle colours of the sunset.
We'll then hop back into our vehicle and head to the base station of the Teide cable car. When we get there, we'll rest for 30 minutes and have a picnic meal that'll include a sausage and cheese sandwich, a sweet treat and a bottle of water or a soft drink.
Once it's dark, we'll begin a stargazing workshop that'll last 1 hour 15 minutes. We'll try to find the night sky's main constellations and spot the International Space Station. You'll also get to use long-range telescopes to get a close look at different celestial bodies.
Our adventure will come to an end between 10:15 pm and 12:30 am when we drop you off back at the starting point.
