An astrotourism company in Los Cancajos with telescope stargazing, night-photography tours, telescope hire and observatory visits.

AstroLaPalma, which also signs as La Palma Stars, is an astrotourism company with an office in Los Cancajos, the beach area of Breña Baja next to the airport. It is registered as an active-tourism company in the Canary Islands (TA-5-0000265.16) and is part of the Cabildo's StarsIsland product club. Its guides, Ana García and Candy Bethencourt according to the Starlight Foundation, are accredited to take groups to the Roque telescopes.

## What it offers

Telescope stargazing, about two hours at a mountain viewpoint: €35 from age 12 and €25 for ages 4 to 11, without transport; €55 with transport, with very few places.

Night photography tour, about five hours in groups of 3 to 6 people, €49.

Observatory visit by day, from the Visitor Centre car park, from age 6; on Saturdays in Spanish only.

Portable telescope hire (from €40), workshops and private star parties.

## How it works

Book and pay on its website, with a calendar of dates. The departure time changes with sunset and arrives on your ticket. The viewpoint is chosen each night according to clouds and wind. If the company cancels because of the weather, it offers another date and, if that is not possible, refunds the money. The phone is answered Monday to Friday mornings; outside those hours, email or WhatsApp.
