The closest restaurants to Refugio del Pilar area are situated in El Paso or San Pedro. Perhaps when the tour ends (depending on the time of the year), it will be late in order to find an open restaurant. We recommend you bring a picnic.
Llano del Jable and Las Ventas astronomical viewpoints are situated on the mountain, where nighttime temperature is much lower than at sea level (even if the day has been sunny and warm). Take into account that the thermal sensation is lower on a windy night. It is preferable that you bring more warm clothes rather than less.
Yes, you can. However, the tour is not recommended to children younger than 6.
No, this tour is not available on the 4-5 nights before the full Moon, due to the intense brightness of our natural satellite, which would affect the quality of the observation. Bearing in mind that the Moon rises in the east about 50 minutes later every day, from 2-3 nights after the full Moon phase, the stargazing can be carried out and, in fact, it will end before the Moon rises.
