Why Teide National Park?

Teide National Park is not only home to Spain’s highest peak but also one of the most unique astronomical destinations in the world. Due to its altitude, clean air, and distance from urban light pollution, it has been recognized as a Starlight Tourist Destination and Reserve. Here, you can admire celestial bodies with unmatched clarity.

The volcanic landscape adds a surreal atmosphere, making the night sky even more dramatic. While you’re standing on ancient lava fields, the sky above opens up to reveal galaxies, planets, and shooting stars. It’s no wonder that so many travelers list this as a must-do on the island.

What to Expect from a Stargazing Tour

A Teide National Park stargazing tour begins around sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a deep canvas ready for exploration.

Guides use laser pointers to highlight constellations and tell the stories behind them—legends from Greek mythology, practical navigation tips, and astronomical facts. Professional telescopes are set up to view the Moon’s craters, Saturn’s rings, or even the moons of Jupiter. Depending on the time of year, you might even catch a meteor shower.
