Sunday 27th September there will be a very special evening program at Arikok: a LUNAR ECLIPSE HIKE TO THE ARIKOK HILL, an astronomical get together guided by Jeremio Maduro. This night there will be a Super Moon Eclipse, which is something very rare and for the last time occurred 32 years ago and scientists predict a similar phenomenon to occur as late as 2029.
The tour will go in a half hour easy (but UPHILL !) walk from the visitor center to Seroe Arikok, where there will be two telescopes for Moon Gazing available. Jeremio Maduro will give a presentation and is with his team happy to guide you, so that everybody can enjoy the eclipse and stargazing.
Don’t use a flashlight! It is full moon, and you will disturb nature.
