About this experience
Teide National Park is one of the best places to admire the sunset in Tenerife.
In 2013, Teide National Park was declared a Starlight Tourist Destination and
Starlight Reserve by the Starlight Foundation and since then the number of tourists interested in astronomy has grown, making Tenerife a popular destination for astronomers worldwide. The low light pollution inside Teide National Park (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is what makes it the perfect place for stargazing in Tenerife, as here you're almost guaranteed great night sky conditions, which will allow you to observe varios stars and constellations.
Tenerife has a special law in place in order to protect these pristine star-watching conditions inside Teide National Park, by controlling the flight routes and limiting the light pollution inside the park.
At an altitude of 2000 meters, we will discover the constellations designed by our ancestors and their brightest stars.
