Itinerary
1
Teide National Park
1. Welcome & Sky Orientation (Teide National Park at 2,200m)
Arrive at our meeting point in Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bathed in moonlight. After a short walk to the observation point, your Starlight-certified guide begins naked-eye orientation: constellations, zodiac, bright objects and the Moon's position in the sky. No prior knowledge needed.
2. Moon & Sky Observation with Live Astrophotography (Same location)
The Moon takes centre stage through our professional telescopes: craters, mountain ranges and vast lunar seas in extraordinary detail. Visible planets and bright clusters are also observed. Small groups ensure personal attention.
A second telescope captures live astrophotography, images 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 moonlit sky. Perfect time to ask the last questions in one of the most magical settings on Earth.
