Spend 3 nights of your stay up at the height of 8000ft above sea level on the third-highest volcano in the world, among ancient lava fields that serve as a beautiful backdrop to the Milky Way and nightscape photography. Our knowledgeable guides will take you to the best places and show you how to capture stunning images.
We supply your transport to and from your accommodation in Los Gigantes to the lava fields of Teide. The guides will show you how to use our specialist telescopes guided mounts and cameras to capture the best images. Milky Way planetary and deep space photography are all covered.
