Teide Stargazing Experience

As soon as we meet we'll listen to a brief introduction about the secrets of the firmament. Afterwards, the time will come to use the professional telescopes to see the stars from a unique perspective. You'll be surprised!
We'll learn how to orientate ourselves on a dark night without the need for a compass, as well as see the constellations of the zodiac signs and much more. Moreover, if you come in summer you'll see perfectly one the Milky Way arms.
