Drive Yourself to 7 Cañadas for the Sunset and the Telescopes

The same evening as the coach version, without the coach. You drive up to the Restaurante 7 Cañadas at La Orotava yourself and arrive for 7.45 pm. The restaurant sits 2,130 metres above the sea, and the terrace is where the evening starts. When you get there, ask for Kieran, who registers your arrival. Sunset comes with a glass of chilled cava, or orange juice, above the sea of clouds, with Teide behind it at 3,718 metres. After dark the guides take over. They are Starlight-certified, they work in several languages, and they use telescopes and laser pointers to go through planets, constellations and galaxies, with the mythology and the science mixed together. This version does not include dinner, though the restaurant facilities are open to you before the tour begins.
