At an altitude of 2,400 meters, surrounded by an enviable environment that guarantees spectacular conditions for astronomical observation, is the Roque de los Muchachos Visitor Center. It is one of the most important astrophysics observatories in the world.

Through the application of the latest technology, the Visitor Center is able to bring La Palma’s Astronomy closer.

The Visitor Center is divided into several rooms equipped with innovative solutions:

• Welcome Room: where we will find a large interactive table where we will discover with tactile menus the guts of the telescopes of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory.
• Room 1 “Canary Islands, a window to the Universe”: is equipped with a virtual reality device that allows the user to experience in a realistic way the formation of the famous Sea of Clouds along with a futuristic Video Mapping.
• Room 2 “Exploring the Universe”: to explore every corner of the universe we find some innovative experiments with thermal cameras and lights, Holograms that break down the telescopes and show in detail the celestial bodies, Virtual Reality devices and the use of Augmented Reality to realistically show the planets of the solar system.
• Room 3 “Back to Earth”: Through a realistic model we can observe with Augmented Reality the points of interest complemented with Virtual Reality glasses.
