Program Description
Stone pyramids, volcanic rocks and mysteries that continue to intrigue researchers - Tenerife is home to a place that might remind you of ancient Egypt. The Pyramids of Güímar are remarkable structures surrounded by botanical gardens and exhibitions dedicated to the history and nature of the Canary Islands. During your visit, you'll explore different theories about their origins and discover what makes them so fascinating.
The main attraction of the Pyramids of Güímar Ethnographic Park is a collection of stone structures built from local volcanic rock, reaching heights of up to 12 metres. Although they resemble pyramids found in other parts of the world, their origins remain a subject of debate. According to one theory, they were built using stones removed by farmers while clearing their fields. Other hypotheses link their construction to ancient beliefs and the worship of the Sun and Moon.
As you explore the museum and exhibitions within the park, you'll learn about the history of the pyramids, discover more about the research carried out at the site and explore different interpretations of their original purpose. It's a fascinating opportunity to delve into archaeological mysteries and form your own opinion about these unusual structures.
Next, you'll enjoy a walk through the botanical gardens, where you'll discover a variety of plant species and learn about the region's natural diversity. The area surrounding the pyramids serves as an open-air museum, bringing together geology, botany and the history of local human activity.
A visit to the Pyramids of Güímar combines history, nature and archaeological mysteries. It's a place where you can not only admire extraordinary volcanic stone structures but also explore different perspectives on their origins.
