Stargazing in Tenerife
We are all cosmic voyagers aboard Earth, hurtling through space at astonishing speeds. Orbiting the Sun, we zip along at an average of 107,280 km/h, while completing a single lap around our galaxy would take 225 million years at nearly 800,000 km/h. In just the time it took you to read this paragraph, we've traversed thousands of kilometers through the cosmos!
Embark on a journey through the heavens with a stargazing tour in Tenerife, a uniquely privileged location safeguarded by legislation ensuring the purity of its skies since 1988. Additionally, Tenerife has been part of the Starlight Destinations and Reserves network since 2013.
In this idyllic setting, our adventure under the stars begins by observing the night sky with the naked eye, identifying prominent constellations and learning to navigate like ancient explorers. Who knows, fellow traveler, perhaps this knowledge will one day guide you on your own path.
Next, we will peer through telescopes to uncover the mesmerizing secrets hidden within the celestial sphere: nebulae, binary stars, galaxies, star clusters, and other marvels of our solar system if they're visible. It promises to be an unforgettable experience, offering a unique perspective on the nocturnal wonders above.
Do not forget to bring: Warm clothing, suitable footwear for the mountains and water.
- It is necessary to contact BOGOWI's reservations team to set a date and time for your excursion.

- The starting time is based on the time of sunset, so it will change throughout the year and is specified in each of the tours.
