Pirámides de Güimar

The Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park & Botanical Garden is an expansive open-air museum and one of the five official botanical gardens in the Canary Islands. Established in 1998 by renowned Norwegian researcher Thor Heyerdahl, the park was created to protect the pyramids from an urban development plan.

Beyond the pyramids, the park features over 64,000 square meters of land with four outdoor routes and specialized gardens. These routes allow visitors to explore the extensive gardens freely, uncovering fascinating aspects of Canarian culture and nature. The routes include a Canarian Botanical Route, a Cultural Route, and a Volcanic Route. The park’s facilities also include the Casa Chacona Museum and an Auditorium.

The park’s botanical collections include the Poison Garden, the only one of its kind in Spain, and the Sustainable Garden, which replicates a Canarian ravine with a watercourse, showcasing the characteristic flora of these environments in a sustainable way. The Tropicarium demonstrates the survival strategies of orchids and carnivorous plants in tropical conditions.

The park was awarded the ‘Best Overall Sustainable Tourism Practice 2021’ prize on the island of Tenerife and was a national finalist in the ‘Remarkable Venue Awards 2022’ in the Best Hidden Gem category, which highlights the most outstanding and special places for travelers worldwide. The park has also received the Biosphere Committed distinction for its sustainable efforts and is a member of the Climate Heritage Network.

The Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park & Botanical Garden offers a unique outdoor experience without the crowds, thanks to its 30,000 square meters of accessible garden areas. It’s the perfect place for culture and nature enthusiasts to enjoy a day outdoors in a safe, sustainable, and unique environment.

Hours: Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (except December 25th and January 1st).
