With the help of your astronomy expert guide, you will be able to observe the sky with the solar and nocturnal telescopes.

Towards the end of the day, you will admire the sunset on Teide National Park. Then you will take advantage of the ideal positioning of the Canary Islands as you admire the stars. In fact, from Mount Teide, you'll be able to observe 83 of the 88 officially recognised constellations.
