点评:Whichever way you decide to get to the collection of world-class observatories at Los Muchachos, you are in for a great drive. The roads are perfectly good, but have a huge succession of hairpin bends so you need to be both careful and confident - the posted speed limit of 40kmh may well be too fast! There are places to stop and admire the scenery along the way.
Private visits (maximum group size 22) to the centres take place three times a week. The usual meeting point is the Centro de Visitantes below all the telescopes. This 2+ hour visit included a fascinating presentation of the work of the observatories and access to the Large telescope itself. The presentation is in both Spanish and English, and is given by a professional astronomer with experience.
Tickets should be bought online beforehand as visits get sold out quickly.
This was one of the highlights of my visit to La Palma and is thoroughly recommended.
翻译:无论您选择哪条路线前往洛斯穆查乔斯 (Los Muchachos) 的世界级天文台群,都将是一次绝佳的自驾之旅。道路状况良好,但弯道众多,因此您需要格外小心谨慎——限速 40 公里/小时可能都太快了!沿途设有多个观景台,供您驻足欣赏美景。
天文台每周提供三次私人参观(最多 22 人)。通常的集合地点是位于所有望远镜下方的游客中心 (Centro de Visitantes)。这次时长超过 2 小时的参观包括一场精彩的天文台工作讲解,以及参观大型望远镜的机会。讲解使用西班牙语和英语,由经验丰富的专业天文学家进行。
由于参观名额有限,建议提前在线购票。
这次参观是我拉帕尔马岛之旅的亮点之一,强烈推荐。
