Itinerary
1
Teide National Park
1. Welcome & Sky Orientation (Teide National Park at 2,200 m)
Arrive at our meeting point in Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a short walk to the observation point, your Starlight-certified guide begins naked-eye orientation: Polaris, constellations, zodiac and visible planets. No prior knowledge needed — designed for everyone.
2. Telescopes & Live Astrophotography (Same location)
Observe Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, galaxies like Andromeda, nebulae like Orion and star clusters like the Pleiades through professional telescopes.
Small groups ensure personal attention at the eyepiece.
A second telescope captures live astrophotography, images of the cosmos sent to you by email as a gift after the tour.
3. End of the tour (Meeting point)
The experience concludes with a short walk back to the meeting point under the stars. Perfect time to ask the last questions under one of the three best stargazing locations on Earth.
