Stargazing is as old as time. Some cultures considered the heavens to be
mirrors of the Earth. The stars have been utilised to make sense of life, guide great journeys, observe time, and even predict the future.
Whether you choose to follow in the footsteps of ancient astronomers who only had the naked eye, or embrace modern observatories and masterful telescopes, there is something incredibly captivating and almost divine about gazing up at the starry skies. More than just a moment to pause and ponder, it is your chance to marvel in the
mysteries of the universe.
Tenerife has an ancient tradition of stargazing and boasts ideal environmental conditions for it throughout the year, particularly within
Teide National Park. Tenerife is one of few places in the world that is a designated
Starlight Tourist Destination, an area protected from light pollution so that you can enjoy the night sky in all its glory, observing 83 of the 88 known constellations.
