You will enjoy the transformation of the Teide National Park at sunset. When night falls you will see the stars in the Teide sky, one of the best on the planet.
Discover the Teide National Park like never before: under the starry blanket of night. This nocturnal excursion will take you to explore the beauty of Teide at dusk, when the landscape is transformed and the sky reveals 83 of the 88 known constellations.
During the ascent, you will cross different ecosystems, from rural areas and forests to high mountain scrubland, home to native plants such as broom and summit rosebush. You will also see small bats, harmless companions of the night, which live in the volcanic tunnels of the park. These tunnels are also home to unique creatures adapted to total darkness, many of them exclusive to this environment.
Teide's sky is one of the best on the planet for stargazing. The scarce light pollution of the environment gives you a clear, sharp sky dome full of mythological stories and mysteries, which you can discover in full with the help of the Starlight guides, who will be at your disposal throughout the observation. This will take place at the cable car base station, at an altitude of 2,356 metres, with professional long-range telescopes. Among volcanoes, with the colours of a natural treasure such as this wild enclave and with the nerves of being about to discover planets, galaxies, clusters and -if there is a full moon- a whole lunar geography that will make you dream.
A unique experience that combines the magic of nature and astronomy in a spectacular setting.
