Pyramids of Güímar, Archaeological site in Güímar, Tenerife, Spain.
Six stepped pyramids constructed with volcanic stones rise within a 67,000-square-meter ethnographic park surrounded by botanical gardens and exhibition spaces.
The structures, discovered in 1991, align with solar events during winter and summer solstices, leading to scientific studies by the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute.
The pyramids sparked interest from Norwegian researcher Thor Heyerdahl, who established an ethnographic park to study connections between ancient civilizations through similar structures.
The ethnographic park opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering different ticket options ranging from 12.50 to 18.00 euros for access to pyramids and gardens.
The site combines an Ocean of Plastic exhibition, poisonous plant garden, and sustainable agriculture demonstrations within its educational facilities.
