IMPORTANT: Depending on weather conditions, this activity could requires to change date. For this experience is necessary to have a car to arrive to the meeting point.

I’m a professional Starlight Monitors and Mountain Guide too, so mixing both fields I have created this magic night experience. Live the nature like the people did it in the past, looking up to understand what is hapenning down. Our route is easy level, the objective is to enjoy the nature and the sky. We don’t use telescopes because we like to move to keep warm in the night and enjoy the feeling of the night walking in the mountains, but we use binoculars and other resources to make a great experience.

We will meet in the center of the island. From here we will start a hiking in a part of the Santiago’s Way of Gran Canaria, the most famous trekking of the island. We will reach one of the most wanted spots of this zone, la Ventana del Nublo. In this magic place we will see the sunset while we enjoy a tasty picnic and we will talk about basic concepts of astronomy while the sky is getting dark.

We will lay down and we will watch the universe and luckyly we will see some shooting stars. We will learn to indentify constellations, planets and we will take a hot drink to be warm. For finishing the route we will walk in the forest with lights to reconnect with the nature and our senses.
