We discuss the feasibility of a telescope consisting in a sampling array for extensive air showers measure combined with a muon tracking device. The sampling array will extend over a surface of ≥ 10 7 m 2 while the muon tracking device will cover ≥ 10 4 m 2 . The telescope should be done with resistive plates counters and would become a very powerful device to study high energy neutrinos and gamma rays astronomy as well as cosmic ray physics up to the highest energy (≥ 10 19 eV ) region.
