Astrophototour
Group or customized stargazing with a powerful 40 cm diameter professional telescope in the Teide National Park.
At over 2300m of altitude where the sky is among the clearest and darkest in the world, you will be able to see live objects such as galaxies, nebulae, the moon and the planets of the solar system and learn all their secrets.
Unlike other agencies in the area that offer "mass" tours of this type, with small groups of people it will be possible to interact better and explain this wonderful science in detail, and I will also be able to answer any questions thanks to my experience gained in 25 years of collaboration with an astronomical observatory in northern Italy.
I also propose basic and advanced workshops to learn astronomical photography for the most passionate who already know astronomy and want to expand their skills and get more satisfaction in this activity.

Hike Teide by Night
Are you a thrill seeker and adventurous person? One Night walking under the stars staring at the Milky Way, surrounded by shooting stars. A Night trek to the highest point in Spain, El Teide(3718 m), to reach the summit just before sunrise, in an experience that will leave you speechless, to see the magic, the biggest shade reflected on the ocean and the rest of Canary Islands (La Gomera, La Palma, El Hiero, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura y Lanzarote). During the night trekking we can observe and identify different star constellations or even shooting stars, Mount Teide having one of the best night sky, free of light polution and clouds (80% of the year free of clouds).
Access to the peak requires a free permit that needs to be booked 2 days in advance. In our case the minimum is days before the summit and its my job to get it. The trek includes insurance and is led by an experienced mountain guide.
If you are in good physical condition, doing different sports often (2 or 3 times/week) and you have the proper material (mountain boots, gore tex clothes, feather jacket) and the necessary quantity of water (2-3 liter) and food (one meal + enrgy bars) the difficulty of the trip is like moderate. If any of the mentioned requirements is missing (good condition, technical material, food or water) is becoming a hard trail.
