Roque de los Muchachos Roque de los Muchachos No Data

Description


The highest point on the island, the top of a massive volcano that collapsed creating much of the landscape of the north of the island. From the very top of the rim you can look down into the caldera and see the walls of the volcano. Due to the very dry air, the height, the lack of lights and the fact the clouds form below the mountain top creating a blanketing effect from below the site is now home to a large number of observatories and telescopes which make the landscape even weirder that it would otherwise be.
