.important notes
Start: 16th of May Santa Cruz de La Palma. Either accessible flying to the airport, or sailing from Tenerife or other islands with ferry.

Itinerary
16/5 Arrival on La Palma
Our meeting begins at noon in the beautiful town, the capital of Santa Cruz de La Palma, on the island also nicknamed La Isla Bonita. First, we have lunch together in one of the fantastic local restaurants with local delicacies. This is followed by check-in at our hotel with a pool and preparation of equipment for evening photography. After a short rest, we head together to the top of the island of La Palma and stop at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory to enjoy a magnificent sunset. A night full of photography awaits us. Our goal is to capture the rising Milky Way in a beautiful arc with the dramatic landscape of the volcanic caldera and the local telescopes of the nearby observatory. In the morning, we return to our accommodation and treat ourselves to a well-deserved rest.
17/5 Night Photography over the Calderas
After a night full of stars, you deserve a good rest, and we will treat ourselves to it right at the accommodation in the hotel pool. We will recharge our batteries, prepare our equipment, and set off for another great lunch combined with souvenir shopping in Santa Cruz de la Palma. In the evening, we will leave for another night adventure to the top of the island. We head to a beautiful viewpoint hidden only 20 minutes walk from the parking lot. There we will spend the night photographing the most beautiful scenery. In the morning, we will return to the accommodation.
18/5 Arrival on Tenerife
Goodbye, La Isla Bonita, Hello, Tenerife. Together we set off by ferry to another beautiful island, which hides many natural treasures. After arriving at the port in Los Cristianos, our journey will lead us straight into the heart of the Teide National Park. Our comfortable hotel is located right in the middle of the park, with views of the Pico del Teide volcano and an indoor swimming pool. After dinner, we will head to the nearby rock formations of Roques de Garcia. Here we will spend the whole night taking some of the most interesting compositions and panoramic shots that you can find in Tenerife. Literally a paradise for photographers.
19/5 Night Photography & Consultation
Another night of photography behind us and a well-deserved relaxation in the hotel and pool ahead. We will spend the afternoon consulting on your photos and basic processing. We will end the evening with another night full of stars in Teide National Park with endless beautiful views.
