What To Expect
The tour is basically astronomical. Upon receiving clients we give them a brief explanation of Menorca and its commitment as a biosphere reserve to sustainability. We explain what it also means to be a "Starlight" territory, reserve and destination, which has the night sky protected. Next we teach the virtues of the natural landscape where they are found.
The highlight of the activity is the observation of the night sky through laser pointers, astronomical binoculars and telescopes. All this recreated with the mythology enclosed in the constellations and the observation of various objects such as planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies.

A tener en cuenta que se debe reservar con antelaciΓ³n (al menos en agosto) y el tiempo es impredecible. A nosotros nos saliΓ³ un dΓa nublado y nos pusimos en contacto con Javier. No tuvimos la opciΓ³n de cancelar la actividad, pero Javier nos dijo que lo mΓ‘s seguro era que se pudiese realizar y asΓ fue. Para las 7 de la tarde todas esas nubes que nos habΓan acompaΓ±ado el dΓa entero desaparecieron.
Β‘Muchas gracias por una noche tan bonita!
Man kann es nur empfehlen!
Un momento muy agradable, tomando el tiempo de mirar la puesta de sol y las estrellas escuchando las explicaciones de astronomia y las anecdotas del cielo infinito por parte de Javier y Nuria...
Totalmente recomendable no solo para turistas sino tambiΓ©n para los que viven en Menorca.
Javier es un guΓa y maestro formidable. Conduce la noche de forma didΓ‘ctica y a la vez amena. El trato con Γ©l es cercano, se adapta a cada situaciΓ³n y lo hace con mucha pasiΓ³n.
