If you’re in Tenerife, it’s nighttime, you look up and notice something strange… It’s a sky full of stars, a sky you’re not used to seeing, wherever you come from<\/strong>.<\/span> The infinite skies of Tenerife explain the roots that astronomy has in Tenerife, both at an amateur level and among professional astronomers.<\/p>\n

\n

The night-time visibility of the sky in Tenerife is considered to be one of the best on the planet.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why is Tenerife and the entire Canary Islands a privileged place for astronomical observation? The Canary Islands skies have three key factors in their favour<\/strong>.<\/span> Firstly, the trade winds and their thermal inversion; secondly, the high altitudes above the clouds and, finally, the low light pollution in the region.<\/p>\n

All this together makes night visibility here really excellent<\/strong>,<\/span> recognized as one of the best on the planet. It is not for nothing that the archipelago has three Starlight reserves, one of them on the peaks of the Teide National Park<\/a>. If you are interested in astronomy, are an amateur of astrophotography or simply want to see a lot of stars, you cannot miss this experience.<\/p>\n

In the following paragraphs we will tell you a little more useful information about astronomy in Tenerife<\/strong>.<\/span> We are going to point out three perfect places to make observations (as long as the conditions allow it, of course), and we are also going to recommend three of the many excursions that take place on the island of Tenerife to observe the stars.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If the question is where to see the stars in Tenerife, anywhere on the island you will enjoy beautiful skies, but<\/span> if you really want to see a sky full of stars…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Iza\u00f1a.<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>The location where you will find the telescopes of the Teide Observatory must be one of the best places to see the stars in Tenerife by force. At an altitude of 2400 meters, the observatory has eight night telescopes, three solar telescopes, a visitor center and other scientific facilities. If you are a devotee of astronomy you have to make a pilgrimage here. <\/span><\/p>

Route of viewpoints of the Teide National Park.<\/strong><\/span> Why stay in one place to enjoy astronomy in Tenerife if you can do it in several? If you are one of those who think this way and are looking for a more complete experience, the park offers you a seven-point route through various viewpoints, from Portillo to Ch\u00edo: Minas de San Jos\u00e9, Roques de Garcia, Llano de Ucanca… The sky and Mount Teide go hand in hand, and you can experience it. <\/span><\/p>

Parador de turismo.<\/strong><\/span> You don’t have to get lost in the middle of the night in the park to enjoy the stars. The surroundings of the Parador are perfect for enjoying the sky without sacrificing comforts or combining it with more mundane experiences. This is especially true when a spectacular phenomenon occurs; thus, for example, it is a great place to see the meteor shower in Tenerife. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
