Mount Teide - Sunset and Stars Experiences
You can enjoy the amazing sunset from one of the viewpoint terraces of the Cable Car's upper station or from the Chío viewpoint. If the weather is clear the islands of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro can be seen.
You have two tour options for this experience, with and without dinner.
After the sunset you will be treated to a cocktail dinner made with products typical of the islands that will make even the most demanding gourmet's mouth water:potatoes served with various mojos, skewers of carne de fiesta..., all served with white, red and rose wines from the islands.
After dinner you will be able to admire the stars with the help of a guide who will take you on a journey through the fascinating world of the night sky. We will provide professional telescopes to view distant constellations and impressive planets like Saturn. Teide National Park provides the ideal conditions to stargaze, which is why important astronomical observatories have been built there.
If the weather conditions make it difficult to see the stars correctly, our guides will use audiovisual equipment to give a virtual tour of that night's sky, the constellations and notable objects that you could have seen.
