Roque de los Muchachos Observatory

Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma

The highest point on the island at 2,426 metres and home to some of the world's most important telescopes, built here because the air above La Palma is this clear and this dark.

Good to know
Half a day round trip from most towns; daytime guided tours only, dress for cold and altitude.
