Visits to the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma: A Unique Experience in astro-tourism<\/h2>\n

Discover the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory<\/h2>\n

The Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, located on the island of La Palma, is one of the most fascinating destinations for astro-tourism lovers. Located at an altitude of 2,396 metres above sea level, this observatory offers exceptional conditions for astronomical observation, thanks to its clear sky free of light pollution.<\/p>\n

The Gran Telescopio de Canarias: The World’s Largest Telescope<\/h3>\n

One of the jewels of the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory is the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC), the largest optical-infrared telescope in the world. With a primary mirror 10.4 metres in diameter, the GTC allows scientists to observe the universe with unprecedented precision.<\/p>\n

Night-time observatory<\/h2>\n

The Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory has 16 active telescopes. All of them for night-time observation in the visual or near-infrared range or Large Size Telescopes (LST) for Cherenkov radiation (gamma rays). It has only one active solar telescope: the Swedish Solar Telescope (Swedish Solar Telescope).
