Pyramids Of Güímar Full Ticket

The museum has several interesting exhibits including the pyramids. The video is interesting and informative.

It was a fascinating experience. The site offers a unique look at six pyramides whose origins are still debated today. The visit also includes an Eco Garden with plants from different continents, a Poison Garden with toxic and medicinal species, and a short 15-minute documentary explaining the theories behind the pyramids. Overall, it’s an interesting and peaceful place to explore, perfect for anyone curious about culture, nature, or Tenerife’s lesser-known history. Our guide Michael was very nice and passionate, he toled us lot of interesting things!

Our team from Canary Green joined the tour at the Pyramids and it was an outstanding experience. Michael, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, making the visit both educational and enjoyable. A fantastic place to learn about the history and culture of Tenerife.💚

Truly terrible. Not a single actual artifact and no scientific or historical basis for many of the claims. The focus on a white race of "civilisation bringers" was outdated, lacking in fact, and very suspect! Do not pay extra to go to the tropical garden or Polynesian bit, it's rubbish. The best bit was seeing a chicken and her chicks wandering around.

My partner has a manual wheelchair with smart drive attachment. The was a blue badge space right in front of the entrance which were lucky enough to get. There are smooth access paths throughout the site. One of the ticket ladies very patiently explained the site with a map, and provided times to be at certain places. Even following the recommended direction, there were 2 short sharp slopes which we slowly reversed down with the brakes on, and one long slope where I pushed but the smart drive did the hard work. Overall, I would say, this is worth the challenges presented. Very few ancient sites have this level of accessibility, and for us this was a great day out. It surpassed our expectations in its beauty. The staff were very attentive to wheelchair users. The cafe has accessible toilets. The cafe was very well priced compared to other tourist sites, and we loved how quiet it was there (very few people on a Wednesday).

This is a fascinating place to visit so you can see and do something different in Tenerife. The documentary was especially worthwhile, because you learned a lot about Thor Heyerdal and about these pyramids and their connections to other pyramids in the world. There was quite a bit of information around, which was good but honestly too much to take in. I didn't like the difference between the premium and regular tickets. I think it should be one price for everything, not least because the premium ticket was made out to be so much better, but in the end it involved a quick timed look at a very small tropical flowers area and a wander through the poison garden. It wasn't worth the extra cost really. Besides the documentary, the best part was walking around the pyramids and enjoying the views.

If you like the Aztec and Inca mysteries then you will love this place. Ancient stepped pyramids and terraces from about 600BCE. Preserved by Norwegian explorer Thor Hyerdahl this place is well worth 2-3 hours of your time. Free on street parking right outside the museum. There is an Easter Island, Rapa Nui exhibition in the grounds and a poison garden as well as the actual stone terraces and stepped pyramids. If you are expecting the Egyptian pyramids of Giza you will be disappointed, these are closer to Aztec or Inca in style. Well worth the visit and something a little different from the beach in Tenerife

A very interesting place to visit Lots to see, more than i expected It is well.laid out and very easy to get around . Certainly I would recommend a visit

What a surprise! Firstly, we hired a car to get there, it's a bit far from other main attractions and the drive was approximately 40 min from Playa de las Americas. Located in a small town. The site is very educational, great set up providing a lot of information on culture and history relating to pyramids, offering interesting views on our civilisation. It was lovely to walk around, surprisingly lots to do. We also watched a movie at the auditorium, shining some light on great mysteries of our history. We got premium tickets so we visited the poison garden as well. Well worth a visit, surprisingly we agreed it was the best thing we discovered on the island.

My boyfriend and I attended Pyramids of Guiimar via the premium ticket option on November 6th. Firstly, it was a terrible hike in the heat from the bus to the entrance. Once we arrived we expected the premium ticket option to have a tour for us and access to the Tropicarium, we didn’t, we would have to pay extra for a audio tour and the Tropicarium was locked up. I feel a bit ripped off paying for the premium when we got the basic package experience; luckily it’s the cheapest excursion to do. Although the pyramids are cool, it was a lack luster and not a fun walk around. It could have been time of year that there is not much bloomed in what I assumed was the “botanical gardens” My favourite part was seeing all the lizards running around and the roosters with their babies, as well as the facts and photos within the museum were interesting. We still had fun, just expected a little more.

This is our second visit here. It's an absolutely fascinating experience. The gardens are really interesting including a poison garden and an orchid garden. (Only open for 20 mins 12.30 to 12.50) The pyramids are interesting as its the history of the guanches who lived in Tenerife before the Spanish settlers. My favourite part is the ethnographic museum part all about the history of the people of Easter Island. There's a replica raft made from reeds which is pretty spectacular. Something here for most I would say. Probably not small children. The cafe is so so but ok. Definitely worth €18 visit.

Super interesting and loads of knowledge being passed around as well as a fascinating section of Thor Heyerdahl! We literally sat and watch the video for ages!

My brother bought 2 premium tickets on the day for visiting all the attractions. We were near the end when an overzealous member of staff tried to accuse us of not having tickets when in the Polynesian section. To be able to enter that section you have to hold a card to a barrier which my brother did and as we were only issued with the one card we obviously had to do this twice. You also need to do it again to exit the attraction. Even though we showed our card that was not acceptable to him and he asked us to show a receipt as well, which initially we had trouble finding. Although, we showed it on exiting the park when my brother found it. I also voiced my discontent with their staff members attitude. The experience upset me and ruined the rest of my visit, as I was a bit shaken after that being accused of entering a part of the park without a ticket when we had purchased it. We would also have evidence of how much we paid in my brothers bank account statement and their own ticket office. The member of staff also laughably tried to imply we could have climbed over or limber danced under the barrier. 1. My brother currently has a bad back and is taking pain killers for it and i am not fit or thin enough to do such an act. The whole episode was farcical and I certainly would not ever go back there and would not recommend it to other people. I have never in my life been treated like this at any other visitor attraction, so there is no excuse for our shambolic treatment. After, I complained at the end of my visit they tried to offer me vouchers, not sure what for, but I was not interested. I just wanted to voice my discontent at my shabby treatment. I don't like being made out as if I am a cheat or a thief. The attraction was not even expensive and me and my brother can easily afford the fee.

Great trip. Very informative. Pyramids are a must see. Kids (3 and 4 years) loved looking for chickens and lizards.

It is a nice place, which includes a big botanical park with different plants (almost every plant has a reference to some historical facts and personalities). The museum is also interesting, a big part of the exhibition is devoted to the Kon-Tiki expedition, and there is a copy of the boat. There are interesting historical facts, photos, and maps of other expeditions. One can see different types of boats used in old times. In nice weather, the place is worth visiting. There is a small area for kids to play outside the museum, in the park. The cost of the ticket could be less.

Great place to visit. Very well organized and clear instructions how to walk through the white area. Nice and fresh hostess guided us how to manage the visit. Very good instructions and interesting place to visit. Come early to avoid alot of people, then you will also have a chance to park in front

Really interesting place to visit. Lots to see - the pyramides themselves, botanic garden, exhibitions over Polynesian culture & Easter Island. Poison garden. Didn't have time to see exhibition on plastic in ocean. Audiotour was excellent (and free with premium ticket so that ticket was worth the extra €2) We had 2 hours there but ran out of time to see everything Free parking outside

Brilliant, loved this. Really extensive gardens, & significant pyramids with intriguing origins. Lots of other information too. A pleasantly quiet & peaceful rural site on the slopes of Teide. You don’t have to buy a premium ticket there are lots of options.

Great place. I could not believe how much there was to see. We were time limited so plan to go back this year.

Went to Guimar with my boyfriend as we had a rental car to get around and explore the island. We had read about the pyramids in a travel book and thought it was worth a look. On arrival to Guimar, We found a large car park just down from the centre, which was free and within a few mins walking distance. At the centre the ticket office offered 3 payment options. We went for the most expensive as you had full access to all areas. This cost 18 euros each. On entering the museum, its takes you through a series of rooms, which showed pictures of pyramids around the world. Then you get taken outside where there isnt particularly much to see, there are lots of information plaques but they seem to be about random facts which have nothing to do with pyramids. The pyramids were unimpressive and my first comment was "they dont look very old". It wasnt until we returned home and received an email from a family member that we learnt it was built in the 20th century. The info on the pyramids is vague. Although it was nice to walk around the site and have a few silly pictures, i found the extra areas about Polynesian people and a garden of poison plants and flowers. Not really sure what relevance this had to the pyramids. I thinj this centre was overpriced and not really worth a visit. The town of Guimar is small but pleasant and we stopped for a pizza which only cost 7 euro.

We were very pleasantly surprised at the extent of the history of the area, plants, pyramids and Polynesia in general. After 4 hours of checking out all the exhibits both inside and outside, we were able to get a nice lunch. There is much to learn about poisonous plants, plants of the Tenerife island and why the pyramids are in Guimar. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Worth a visit. Interesting story behind these pyramids. There is a cafeteria on site but was closing when we arrived. Parking is free and near by. It took us about 90 minutes to walk the grounds and take photos, we missed the last show in the auditorium but wasn't too bothered. It's a great walk around for a little history and photos. Good for everyone including kids.

this is in the middle of a village and ok obviously because it has been built around the history is very interesting but .we visited on a day trip for a cruise ship and it was not worth the money .and once you have seen it you are a bit disappointed . here is also a garden with lots of poisonous plants and is an eye opener so that was more interesting .

The entrance fee is way too expensive for what they have to show (offer). There are much more interesting things to see on the island, and they are less expensive.

I was amazed by how much information they offer! In many places you can read the information, or if you take an audio guide you will get to know even more! We took the full package, including the Polynesian museum and the venomous plants, because of that we got the audio guide for free. And it was worth it! The pyramids themselves are interesting, and the story behind them is even more! But I loved the Polynesian museum just as much. It's very well done. To be honest, we planned to go here just for a short visit, to take a look. But it didn't go as planned because it was very interesting amd we needed more time. Anyway, very satisfied with the trip!

Highly overrated. Not worth paying to view. We found it possible to see some similar structures, around the area, from the road-sides. Seems like the semi-ambiguity of the piramides, their origin, history etc, is completely played up to encourage interest and tourist visits. Highly overpriced for what you see, especially considering the other things you can see and do on Tenerife for the same or lower price.

Pyramids different from those in Egypt but unique and worth seeing

I was with my 12-year-old son. Plenty to see. We went through independently with an audiotour.there were also interactive part for the kids very much fun. My little boy really liked the toxic garden. Museum, restaurant, shop, temporary exhibition. It depends on where your interest lies. Lots of walking but Enough rest / sit spots along the way. Staff were nice and helpful. Toilet was mediocre.

Even if Thor Heyerdahl saw traces of ancient civilizations and transoceanic contacts in the pyramids of Güímar, this is not true! These very recent pyramids are in fact 19th century agricultural terraces built in the lucrative context of caterpillar farming; this is attested by local archaeologists. From there, we do not accept very much the mystification in which the museum embarks us by a sustained extrapolation to countless inter-civilizational contacts, real or supposed. It goes in all directions and borders on historical imposture. It would have been infinitely more interesting to learn more about this breeding of caterpillars that took place on these terraces as well as about ancient agriculture and the life of the guanches ... Besides, the park is not really well maintained; signs placed in the wrong places. The botanical garden is very disappointing and the part dedicated to dangerous plants reduced to little. And the icing on the cake: the smoothies were absolutely terrible!

Occasionally you have things to do where you don't have too high expectations and then they are surprisingly fun. Well this one fits perfectly in this category. Very informative. Not just about this pyramid, but all about pyramids worldwide, the original inhabitants and about the ocean sailors. Nice setup. Lovely walk with beautiful vegetation. Separate garden with poisonous plants. Definitely recommended. Advice to go for the premium ticket.

Great family visit. We took the audio guide which was very helpful, we would have missed a lot of information if we had not had it. The site is very beautiful, quiet (few people even in August), and very well maintained. Children (6 and 10 years old) also liked it.

The pyramids were a bit disappointing. The number of 6 is also a question. A lot of stuff in the mueseum that came from somewhere else and didn't have so much to do with Tenerife. We walked around wonderfully and the staff were very nice. The movie, which was supposed to play at noon, was recommended, but we skipped it. The gardens that you can also visit were not exactly worth it either. We also had more for the salamanders we encountered everywhere.

The ethnographic park is beautifully landscaped, with very informative thematic trails (including ancient civilizations and transoceanic travel), and the exhibits are of high quality. The staff is welcoming and speaks very good French. The toxic garden is nickel. The price is correct and satisfactory for the quality of this open-air museum.

Nice place but should put better price for residents. Regarding the place, do not ignore comments that say they are false. In the Canary Islands there were many pyramids, but they were buried, at the northern airport there were, like many sites that were buried by churches or hotels. Spanish colonialism has an interest in putting an end to everything related to the Canary Islands with Africa because the Spanish state does not want to recognize the colonial situation of the Canary Islands. Regarding the place, do not believe the comments that say it is false. There were many pyramids in the Canary Islands, but they were buried, there were pyramids at the northern airport, as well as many sites that were buried by churches or hotels. Spanish colonialism has interests in ending everything that links the Canary Islands with Africa because the Spanish state does not want to recognize the colonial situation of the Canary Islands Schöner Ort, aber sie sollten den Bewohnern einen besseren Preis bieten. Was den Ort betrifft, hören Sie nicht auf die Kommentare, die behaupten, sie seien falsch. Auf den Kanarischen Inseln gab es viele Pyramiden, aber sie waren begraben, am nördlichen Flughafen gab es sie, ebenso wie viele Stätten, die von Kirchen oder Hotels begraben waren. Der spanische Kolonialismus hat ein Interesse daran, alles zu beenden, was die Kanarischen Inseln mit Afrika verbindet, da der spanische Staat die koloniale Situation der Kanarischen Inseln nicht anerkennen will.

To justify the price of the visit they built around the pyramids 3 gardens of imported plants and two museums of stolen artifacts. Interesting story of Thor (a total fool), when we went there most of the plants were dry. The ticket price (€18 each) is definitely high compared to what you have to see

The pyramids are not as big as those in Egypt, yet the park is fascinating and welcoming. The premium ticket is recommended if you have enough time. A small café with the possibility to rest and refresh is attached to the bazaar.

A very pleasant, warm and friendly welcome! A real culture broth that complements knowledge well. A just incredible site: like what, we don’t just see the pyramids in Mexico or Egypt! And finally, discover a man passionate about humanity!

What a surprising and beautiful Museumpark. Have you always wanted to know if there is a connection between the pyramids in different countries? Or do you want to know why pyramids are made in this form? Then visit this beautiful museum park. You get an explanation about the impressive life work of Thor Heyerdahl. With the premium ticket you can also visit the botanical garden and poison garden. The visitor café has low prices. The park is highly recommended and the staff is top notch.

There is very varied information about the type of pyramid constructions around the world, and very interesting information about pyramids in situ. The shame is that the auditorium was temporarily out of use. I know things like that often happen in all museums and ethnographic parks, but your turn is not in good taste. The exposure of the colonization of Polynesia very interesting, but there was also an audiovisual that also did not work, and the heat inside the canvas tents was insufferable. The garden of poisonous plants very nice but perhaps you have to give it a more precise focus and the part of the plastic seas I found really interesting. The outer panels of the route are some that are already very deteriorated. If I recommend it I can not say otherwise but there are little things to improve.

We visited the pyramids of Güimar and were pleasantly impressed; park organized very well, an open-air museum that allows you to see the pyramids and also numerous varieties of plants, even poisonous, as well as photo panels concerning other pyramids in the world. Recommended the full ticket!🌴🌺Very interesting!

Jeżeli szukacie tutaj mumii, albo atrakcji na zrobienie sobie zdjęcia i wstawienia na social media, to nie przyjeżdżajcie. To miejsce to historia podróżnika Hayerdala i poświęcona odkryciom kontynentów dużo wcześniej niż się to europejczykom wydaje. Pięknie utrzymany ogród botaniczny, drób żujący na wolności, kura prowadząca kilkanaście kurczaków pomiędzy piramidami :), część roślin sucha, bo zależy od pory roku i samej rośliny. Spokój, cisza, śpiew kanarków w krzakach, szum wody w ogrodach. Można odpocząć i dowiedzieć się o walkach o wyspy. Polecam.

The sight itself is great. I was and am really excited about the exhibition and the variety of exhibitions. I had an audio guide ubd was in the museum for a total of 4 hours. Just educational. The plaques on plastic consumption should also be in every school. Now to the weak point: I was really upset about the museum shop! He's a cheek and a rip-off! Almost everything you can buy in it is available in regional supermarkets for usually less than half! But the man in the shop said that these were all special products. That's really cheeky! Don't buy anything there! The mojo costs only 25% of the price in the museum shop in the regional supermarket, the wine only 50%!

Overpriced for a site that is not historical! Go your way! It is better to eat a good paella....

It's a scam. It is implied that the pyramids are ancient and actually date them to the late 19th century. The poisonous plant garden is the same, it has four simple species, but again suggests much more than it offers, there is no signage with information about the plants (I understand that because they also try to sell an audio guide). A snap and a tremendous waste of time on an island where there are so many other things to do. Shame on you.

Excessively high price for a rather disappointing visit. Nice place and the pyramids but overall it is not worth 18 euros at all.

Nice when you're around, but the pyramid and botanical garden disappointed me. The premium ticket also gives access to the toxic garden. Nice but not special. A nice building, nice shop and museum. Easily accessible also for wheelchair users

Ethnopark is nice, but not the best on the island. We shouldn't be coming here on purpose, but if you're on your way, why not. Here you can see the six pyramids themselves and a museum dedicated to Hierdal Tour and his travels, there is an exhibition dedicated to Easter Island. The park is complemented by a botanical garden, which highlights a collection of poisonous plants, a museum and several other facilities. Tickets of different types are provided for guests: the more sections of the park they let you see, the higher the price. It is not necessary to buy tickets to the ethnopark in advance. We took full tickets for 18 euros.

The visit offers a pleasant walk among the pyramids, a garden of poisonous plants... interesting, but I found nothing special. It is a new, careful complex...it has been well invested using the pyramids as a linchpin and the rest seems added around it to complement the experience, with explanatory posters from other places and varied themes. Interesting, yes, but I have the feeling that except for the pyramids, the rest can be obtained in a book; even more so given the high price.

The pyramids in the middle of the city are nice but seeing the civilization around is not picturesque, the price is really not worth the detour in premium, old place, the museum is tasteless, the walk in the plant garden frankly bof..... the rate is overpriced for the Welcoming which is not there, everything is sketchy and disappointing do not waste your time.
