Magical Teide by night with a German-speaking guide

Description

A night full of stars and magic

“We sail through endless skies

Let the Canary Islands’ starry sky inspire your imagination on an unforgettable astronomical night in Teide National Park.

Free yourself from the insignificant things of material life and merge with the infinite. As your gaze wanders light years into the depths of the universe, you will recognise the special relationship between humans and the cosmos and the preciousness of our conscious existence.

In the vastness of the universe, human life can seem fleeting. At the same time, the sense of magic and unity it evokes will remind you of the extraordinary gift of consciousness.

Full description of the activity

The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel on the selected day at the time specified when booking online. After picking up the rest of the participants at their hotels, the bus will head towards the Teide National Park, where you can stretch your legs and take some photos. The route offers marvellous panoramic views of the coast and the volcanic landscapes of Tenerife.

Once you arrive at Teide National Park, you will be surrounded by the island’s unique nature. There is no better place to toast to a romantic sunset over the island of La Gomera. We’ll open a bottle of cava and drink it together to lift the spirits as we prepare for stargazing.

The guides and our professional astronomers will set up an observation camp with powerful telescopes and laser pointers in one of the scenic areas of the national park, depending on the weather.

Together with Hawaii and Chile, Tenerife offers some of the best stargazing conditions in the world. You will have the opportunity to observe many stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies and always have a privileged view of the Milky Way. The tour guides will give detailed explanations of the celestial bodies observed and share with you many secrets of our universe.

The excursion includes a delicious dinner served in a typical restaurant, either on the way to Teide National Park or on the way back, depending on the time of sunset.
