Pyramids of Güímar (Pirámides de Güímar)

The Pyramids of Güímar are one of Tenerife’s greatest historical mysteries. Discovered in the 19th century, they were long believed to be simple agricultural terraces. However, studies suggest they may have astronomical significance, as their alignment corresponds with the summer and winter solstices.

Today, the pyramids are part of the Ethnographic Park, where visitors can learn about ancient civilizations and their possible connections to the Canary Islands. Exhibitions also showcase the work of explorer Thor Heyerdahl, who studied these structures and their potential links to Egyptian and Mesoamerican cultures.

Visiting the Güímar Pyramids is an exciting experience for those interested in history, archaeology, and Tenerife’s mysterious past.
