Description

The Ethnographic Park & Botanical Garden Pirámides de Güímar is a large open-air museum and one of the five official botanical gardens of the Canary Islands. The Park was founded in 1998 by the renowned Norwegian researcher Thor Heyerdahl, who was responsible for safeguarding the pyramids from an urban development plan.

In addition to the pyramids, the Park includes four outdoor trails and specialised gardens, spread over more than 64,000m2. The routes allow visitors to stroll freely through the extensive gardens, discovering interesting aspects of Canarian culture and nature. These routes include a Canarian Botanical Route, a Cultural Route and a Volcanic Route. The facilities also include the Casa Chacona Museum and an Auditorium. 

As for its botanical collections, you can visit the Poison Garden, unique in Spain, and the Sustainable Garden, a reproduction of a Canarian ravine, including a watercourse and presenting the flora characteristic of these environments in a sustainable way. The Tropicarium shows the life strategies used by orchids and insectivorous plants to survive in tropical conditions.

The Park was the winner of the 'Best Overall Sustainable Tourism Practice 2021' award for the island of Tenerife and a national finalist in the 'Remarkable Venue Awards 2022' in the Best Hidden Gem category, which highlights the most outstanding and special places for travellers from all over the world. The Park has also been awarded the Biosphere Committed distinction for its sustainable commitment and is a member of the Climate Heritage Network.

The Ethnographic Park & Botanical Garden Pirámides de Güímar offers a unique outdoor experience, without crowds of people thanks to its 30,000m2 of accessible garden areas, allowing culture and nature lovers to enjoy a day outdoors in a different, safe and sustainable environment.
