Destination: Guajara

|

An adventure ! A road I know and love – to Las Canadas in Tenerife. Destination : GUAJARA ! 

Road to Guajara

The magnificent father of this Landscape – El Teide. But this is not our destination today. We are seeking the path of Charles Piazzi Smyth – in 1856.

And now – Mt GUAJARA ! Where Piazzi first tested Isaac Newton’s prediction that astronomical observations would be much improved by going high up above most of Earth’s pesky atmosphere.
