Why Tenerife is Perfect for Stargazing
Tenerife is internationally celebrated as one of the world’s best stargazing destinations, thanks to its clear skies, high altitudes, and minimal light pollution. Our chosen locations within Teide National Park provide unparalleled vantage points for capturing the cosmos. Tenerife is an astronomer’s dream location to learn and practice the art of astrophotography. Situated at 28 degrees above the equator, the island offers a unique vantage point to see further south, making it possible to photograph the rich colours of the Milky Way’s core, something not visible from the northern countries. With 85% cloud-free nights and low humidity, Tenerife provides an unrivalled opportunity to enjoy its stunningly clear night skies. The lunar-like landscape offers countless opportunities for night-time landscape photography, known as Nightscape, enhanced by the striking and unusual rock formations.
What to Bring
Dress warmly, as temperatures can drop significantly at higher altitudes.
Bring along any drinks or snacks you may need during the night.
Your own camera if you want to use it along with the relevant equipment.
