What you can expect
Wonder at the stars in the night sky of La Palma on this stargazing tour. Grab a telescope and take in spectacular views of the sky. From a local guide, learn about the star groups, planets, and nebulas you see.
Begin your tour by heading to a location on the island that is perfect for stargazing because it is at an altitude of 1,300 meters. Be given telescopes by your guide, and get a brief introduction on how to use them. Set them up, have a practice, and get gazing.
Allow your guide to take you on a visual journey through the stars and constellations of the night. Learn about the different stories humans have created over time about stars. Observe celestial objects that are only visible at night, like nebulas, star groups, planets, and the moon.
Quality Stargazing on La Palma
Our activity takes place exclusively in the high-altitude summit zone to guarantee the best possible astronomical experience.
Fixed Location: Roque de Los Muchachos
Meeting Point: The meeting is always at Roque de Los Muchachos, next to the Visitor Center Parking Lot (Museo Roque de los Muchachos).
️ Exact Location on Maps: Museo Roque de los Muchachos (Visitor Center)
We choose this altitude for the following reasons, essential for your experience:
Above the Sea of Clouds: By positioning ourselves so high, we are above the cloud layer that frequently forms at lower altitudes. This is crucial for ensuring a clear sky.
Minimal Atmospheric Interference: The air is cleaner at this height, minimizing turbulence and light/atmospheric pollution, allowing for maximum quality stargazing.
Important: Lower areas of the island do not offer the same conditions or visibility guarantee.
Recommendations
To fully enjoy the activity:
Go Up on the Same Day: Take advantage of the day to drive up early and enjoy the spectacular sunset from Roque de Los Muchachos.
Acclimatization: Going for a short walk or drive in the area will help you acclimatize.
Transport: The use of a personal vehicle is required at all times. Transport is NOT provided.
Clothing & Food: Bring very warm clothing (temperatures drop significantly at altitude) and something to eat (picnic) and drink.
Languages: The activity is usually conducted in Spanish and English
