Stargazing Hike

A unique journey into the night, combining an easy sunset walk with a magical stargazing experience.

We might spot glowworms along the way and listen to the frogs guiding us to our stargazing spot - where the telescope awaits for a breathtaking exploration of the universe.

Watch the stars, planets, and galaxies through professional telescopes as astronomer João will teach you all there is to know about the universe.
