Roque de los Muchachos Stargazing

On this stargazing experience at Roque de los Muchachos, we'll learn about the stars that shine in the night sky over La Palma and enjoy a magical sunset.

Activity Details

We will pick you up from the meeting point in La Palma that you select and head to the highest part of the island. Our tour will take us to Roque de los Muchachos at 2426 metres (7960 feet). Here, you can find the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, home to the largest infrared optical telescope in the world.

Upon arrival, we will watch the sunset from the peak while enjoying a glass of wine from the island. In darkness, we will move to a nearby viewpoint.

At the best stop, we’ll provide a guided explanation of the stars and constellations using a laser and an 11-inch Celestron telescope. We will explore solar systems, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. If visible, we will also discuss the moon and other planets.

After a total of 8 hours, we will return to the initial pickup points.
