【 摘 要 】

We present an ongoing campaign for astronomical site testing and characterization at the Guadalupe Island at the Northern Pacific Coast of Mexico. Characterization at optical and radio wavelengths are been carried out at the site to evaluate its potential for astronomical observatories at these wavelengths.
