Description
▪︎ With unbeatable conditions to observe the sky, this guided hiking activity proposed by El Cardón Nature Experience is the perfect occasion to enjoy the spectacle of the night sky and its stars with the family. El Cardón is a sustainable tourism and local company, since 1997 offers activities, far from the traditional tourist offer, in the main natural and rural areas of Tenerife. With its highly qualified staff, it offers guided experiences in four different languages: Spanish, French, German and English focused on the natural and cultural heritage of the island.
▪︎ The excursion begins in the Cañadas del Teide, one of the ideal places on the planet to stars observation, thanks to the non-existent light pollution in the area. Throughout the tour, lasting approximately three hours, you will be accompanied by an astronomical guide who will answer all your doubts about the celestial picture and make you fall in love with the multitude of legends of star in the different constellations.
▪︎ The activity is carried out in restricted groups of a maximum of 15 people and it is necessary to bring warm clothing and sports shoes, because although the Canary Islands enjoy an exceptional climate, at an altitude of 2000 meters and at night the temperatures drop drastically. It is also recommended that you bring a flashlight to light the way and have a picnic, since within the park, at that time, there is nothing open where you can get to eat. And if it fits in your backpack, you should put a blanket to protect you from the cold.
