Did you know that the most important solar observatory in the world is located in Teide National Park ? Visit the Park, World Heritage Site and the interesting Teide Observatory.
We will start the day by picking you up at your hotel in the north or south of Tenerife. On our way to our destination, we will admire the typical Canarian pine landscapes, characteristic throughout the island. Already in the National Park of Las Cañadas del Teide, a promising day awaits us, touring its beautiful volcanic landscapes, taking photos of the spectacular views, and knowing by our guide the history of Tenerife and the Canary Islands, closely linked to volcanic eruptions.
At lunchtime, we will stop and you will have free time to replenish your strength in Teide's restaurant or café, or even enjoy your own meal.
After lunch, it is a very special visit to the Teide Observatory, the most important solar observatory in the world. For an hour and a half you will get to know the telescope inside, perform a solar observation and understand what astrophysics is and what activity the researchers carry out in the Teide Observatory.
At the end of the afternoon, we will start the trip back to Tenerife hotels.
