Well... The surrounding environment well builtout, I can't complain at all, the staff kind and helpful also speaking English very well. I had arrived late (4:30 pm) I have been told there's not enough time to have a longer tour, and also been recommend to sit in to the auditorium to watch a 15 minute video about the history of the place. So because I had 20 minutes I decided to walk around I will see when I have to get back to the show... In fact that 20 minutes was more than enough to walk around the so called piramides, examine as could as possible (there aren't so many chance to get close to...) photos been taken, show seen, than the next 15 minutes was enough to see the botanic garden and one piramid closer which is on the other side, next to the garden. Conclusion do not expect classical piramides, these looking like South American, just makett size, a botanic garden is okay, could be way much better. Only one thing was surprising on an Island bus tour I saw so many anandoned walls built same way, some as high as one stair of the piramides. That Island more mysterious than I thought. It definitely worth to visit. Easy to access by public transport, just check the returning schedule before go. I walked down to the highway to avoid a to times longer journey.

Piramides de Guimar Tenerife,España Ubicado en el mismo pueblo de Guimar las Piramides son una construcción interesante. Además de las construcciones piramidales que se asemejan mucho a otras encontradas en diferentes partes del mundo, encontramos un hermoso museo fundado por HEYERDAHL Thor: Explorador, antropólogo y escritor noruego. Nacido en Larvik, Noruega. En el auditorio disfrutéis de una preciosa proyección sobre los viajes y teorías de Htor . Hay un pequeño museo. Una cafetería en la que NO encontrareis productos aptos para celíacos así que si es tu caso debeis llevar algo para picar. En una 1 hora y 15 minutos con niños podéis realizar una vicita muy importante en la zona de juegos para los niños hay dos arboles de schinus terebinthifulios Está incluido en la lista 100 de las especies exóticas invasoras más dañinas del mundo[1] de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza con alta toxicidad. Si decides pagar un pak que tienen con jardín de plantas venenosas, museo tienen coste diferente... Para mi lo mas interesante la cueva de 8 metros con restos guanches. El parque es amplio pero hace mucho calor así que no olvides un agua, el gorro para el sol y protección solar. Hay unas mesas en la que podéis realizar un pequeño pik-nik si lleváis algo de picoteo. Encontraran a la salida una tienda con souvenir a muy buen precio. A sido una buena experiencia y es la segunda vez que voy. Abierto al público de 9:30 a 18:00 Lunes a Domingo. Para la proyección del auditorio dejo una imagen con los horarios. Si te fue de ayuda la información dale un me gusta. gracias Pyramids of Guimar Tenerife, Spain Located in the same town of Guimar the Pyramids are an interesting construction. In addition to the pyramidal constructions that closely resemble others found in different parts of the world, we find a beautiful museum founded by HEYERDAHL Thor: Explorer, anthropologist and Norwegian writer. Born in Larvik, Norway. In the auditorium enjoy a beautiful projection about travel and theories of Htor. There is a small museum. A cafeteria in which you will NOT find products suitable for coeliacs so if this is your case you should bring something to snack. In a 1 hour and 15 minutes with children you can make a very important vicita in the playground for children there are two trees of schinus terebinthifulios It is included in the list 100 of the most harmful invasive exotic species in the world [1] of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature with high toxicity. If you decide to pay for a pak that you have with a garden of poisonous plants, the museum has a different cost ... For me the most interesting is the 8 meter cave with Guanche remains. The park is wide but it is very hot so do not forget a water, sun hat and sun protection. There are some tables where you can make a small pik-nik if you have some snacks. You will find at the exit a souvenir shop at a very good price. It's been a good experience and it's the second time I'm here. Open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Sunday. For the projection of the auditorium I leave an image with the schedules. If it was helpful for you, give me a liking. Thank you

Please save your time and DON'T go. I have 4 reasons for that: 1. They explain very little about the people and way of living in the pyramids, but a lot about the person who "explored it". They made a whole museum for the explorer but I learned nothing about the natives of teneriff. 2. They use rassist language, instead of natives these use words like "Indian", I don't know, if you are an ethnological museum, you should be better informed and more sensetiv. 3. I got a lot of random biological facts, which are not even especially connected to the place. If you want to learn something about the flora and fauna please check out another botanical garden. This one is quite random in information and plants. 4. The pricing, the colors, the musemshop the collection of "Information" is so much 2005, please don't go.

In the southeast of the island is the Ethnographic Park with the pyramids of Güímar. It is built around six stepped pyramids, which are approximately four metres high and whose origins are unclear. In the museum, visitors can learn about other pyramids of the world and the ancient civilizations that built them. The ships that these cultures also used have their place here. In fact, the main instigator of this park was the seafarer Thor Heyerdahl, famous for his maritime expeditions. The pyramids in Guimaras are accessible for a fee of 12 euros per person and are part of the museum. Another attraction are the gardens of the park: where there is the Jardín Venenoso, which houses more than 70 toxic plant species from all over the world. Unfortunately, it was under renovation and we only peeked where we could.

This is a great tourist attraction hidden away in the small village of Guimar. The site itself is at the top of the hill. Parking is limited, but there is street parking which is just a short walk away. I paid €12.50 for the blue ticket. There are different options, depending on what you want to see. This gave us the best value for money and we got to walk round most things except the poison garden. It's a lovely place to visit, the museum is so interesting and charts the pyramids development. The grounds are amazing, the signs dotted around tell you different things about Tenerife, and tell you what you can see. I would really recommend this place, so quiet and tranquil and plenty of places to sit and relax and watch the lizards running around.

I really enjoyed this visit. We arrived around 16:45, and waited till 17:00 to watch the 15min documentary in the auditorium which was recommended. I think the film helped contextualise the significance of the pyramids and the connections to the other pyramids. After the film, you are invited to explore the grounds, as it was almost sunset the grounds were beautiful to walk through as the sun was setting slowly behind the misty mountains and tropical mountain Forrest cascading down. We were there at golden hour, so our pictures were beautiful. I would say it's a pricey exhibition, but I personally enjoyed it. The pyramids themselves are not that spectacular. There are some chickens and roosters on the site too!
