An amazing tour! - We had a fantastic guided tour at the Pirámides de Güímar. Our guide, Michael, was excellent, very knowledgeable and incredibly engaging in the way he explained the history of the pyramids and the surrounding cultural context. He made the tour both informative and enjoyable, always happy to answer our questions. They have also an interesting botanical garden. A wonderful experience overall, and definitely a sustainable activity to enjoy while exploring Tenerife. Highly recommended!

Great guitar - The best of Güímar its people, the worst where we ate Restaurant El Perenquen Gloton. The worst of my life, the worst of the visit. All of us who went, called it a disgusting restaurant, full of flies, with very poor service, and very expensive.

Super pretty - Very nice visit, we learn a lot about the island, 2 hours tour, pyramids and vegetation with a paid audio guide but it is worth it Located in the east of the island pleasant temperatures

Nice little visit - The +: - easy access and free parking - Clean toilet - friendly staff - whole park pleasant - interesting museum part - pleasant walk in the park - several species of well indicated plants - possibility of picnic - magnificent view We can take the time. - well suited for children The - : - panels only in Spanish, German and English (nothing in French) for the audio-guide part I don't know, we didn't take it - a little expensive if you want the premium experience -the park is actually more interesting than the pyramids. But the whole thing is nice. Be careful, to appreciate it you have to go there in good weather (as everything in Tenerife). In short, we enjoyed the visit and had a great time.

Walking in the gardens more interesting than the pyramids - The pyramids themselves are not of particular interest, especially since despite their still mysterious origin they seem to be of relatively recent construction. They are an opportunity to take a rather pleasant walk in a quiet environment. The exhibition on Thor Heyerdahl’s adventures is interesting, but I couldn’t find a common thread during the museum visit. The price, 12.50 per person and 8 € for the audio guide is high for visiting such a site.

Interesting place with an intriguing story - Interesting place in combination with the story of Thor Heyerdahl. The presumption that the pyramids present here and the temples of the Maya and other pre-Columbian cultures on the other side of the Atlantic have a similar cultural background is made plausible by the architectural style of sacred sites, objects and reed boats. Thor himself sailed several times from the Canary Islands to the Americas in such boats, demonstrating that it could be done.A replica is present in the museum. Don’t forget to watch the movie either.

Visit of 12/08/25 - The story about the pyramids is interesting (did the Guanche inhabitants have contact with the peoples of America before the discovery by Christopher Columbus?). Indeed, some similarities are troubling, such as that related to alignment with the sun. The rest of the park has a garden (with little shade), part of which is dedicated to toxic plants.

It's okay to have a little time. - The place is taken care of. It is quite interesting and very illustrative. Not only are you going to see pyramids, which are already interesting, but you are going to know other aspects of antiquity regarding the islands.

Yeah. You can skip - Well, unusually expensive for Tenerife and somehow I feel like you put together a lot of things so you can justify the price. You don't have to do

Pyramids intact in the rain - Well maintained 'archaeological' site, with mysterious pyramids but far too intact ... Under an endless flood and a freezing wind, unimpressed, we fled the place
