Teníamos entrada para el domingo 16 de enero y nos desplazamos desde Puerto la Cruz . Aparte de tener bastante desorganizada la espera , aparecieron tarde dos trabajadoras del lugar diciéndonos que se suspendía la visita debido a condiciones climatológicas adversas. Eso lo podemos entender , pero tenían que habernos avisado mucho antes y evitarnos el desplazamiento . El dinero lo han devuelto con bastante celeridad.

Hoy en su día de reapertura tras el cierre por COVID-19 en cada vagón del periférico (que tienen capacidad máxima en situaciones normales para 44 personas) ahora con sus "medidas de prevención COVID-19" meten en cada vagon a 25 o 28 personas adultas y niños. No se revisa si las mascarillas están bien colocadas ni se asegura que la gente respete las distancias... solo les preocupa que mantengas 1,5 metros en la fila de entrada, pero después te enlatan en un vagón acinado. Una auténtica vergüenza.

This was a fantastic little tour that we did for a few hours in the afternoon. Our tour guide (sorry I don't remember his name) was fantastic and patient with a mixed group of people. The tour is quite scientific, so if you aren't into it I wouldn't recommend this trip. I probably wouldn't recommend taking children, if they aren't interested, as they can become very disinterested (as the children did in our group) As with all the views up this high, they are spectacular and where the telescopes are positioned it feels like you are sitting on the clouds. If you love science, astronomy or geopraphy I would highly recommend this little trip!
