Stargazing in Macanao

No artificial light for kilometres: the Milky Way with the naked eye.

Best time
At night
Area
Macanao peninsula
Duration
2–3 h

Macanao has almost no population and therefore almost no light. On moonless nights, half an hour from any town, the sky opens in a way you never see from a city. All it takes is a blanket, a car and knowing where to pull over. It is the cheapest plan on the island and the hardest to forget.
