      Situated at the highest point of the island of La Palma at 2,426 metres (7959 feet), Roque de los Muchachos is part of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park in the central part of La Palma. The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views of La Palma and the surrounding areas. On clear days, you can see other Canary Islands, such as Tenerife, La Gomera, and El Hierro.

      The area is famous thanks to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, one of the most important astronomical observatories in the Northern Hemisphere. The high altitude, clear skies, and minimal light pollution make it an ideal location for stargazing and astronomical observations.
