Pyramids of Güímar Guided Tour in Tenerife

Book this SKU if you want a guide to explain what you are looking at rather than simply walking the site independently. The guided portion covers the Casa Chacona Museum, panoramic terrace, auditorium, the permanent Thor Heyerdahl: The Man, The Myth exhibition, the Expeditions Room and a documentary. That makes it the most interpretation-led option in the current Fly To Canarias catalogue. The park itself is open from 10:00 to 18:00, and the venue recommends advance booking for guided visits because guide availability is more limited than ordinary admission.

The main reason to pay more than the €12.50 basic entry ticket is context. Pirámides de Güímar is not just six stepped structures: the visit also deals with Canary Islands ethnography, Thor Heyerdahl’s expeditions, botanical collections and the debate around the structures themselves. Modern archaeological research published by the University of La Laguna dates the Güímar stone structures to the 19th century and interprets them as agricultural cairns, while the park also presents their solstitial orientation and Heyerdahl’s broader theories. A guided visit is therefore particularly useful if you want to understand the evidence and competing interpretations instead of treating the site as an unexplained ancient pyramid complex.

Best for travellers interested in Tenerife history, archaeology, ethnography, Thor Heyerdahl, unusual cultural attractions and botanical gardens. It is also a good choice for visitors who prefer a structured first hour with a guide before exploring independently. The current product is wheelchair accessible, and the official park provides adapted itineraries for visitors with reduced mobility. Families with older children who enjoy museums and stories about exploration may also get more from the guided format than from a basic self-guided ticket.

Choose the cheaper basic entry ticket if you are happy to explore independently and do not need a live guide. Choose the Premium Ticket instead if the Poison Garden and the Colonizing Polynesia / Rapa Nui exhibition are priorities, because those two areas are explicitly excluded from this guided-tour SKU. The guided visit is also not ideal if you want complete schedule flexibility, as this product currently has a fixed 10:30 start. Food and drinks are not included.

Arrive at Pirámides de Güímar on Calle Chacona in Güímar and show your smartphone ticket at reception. The current Tiqets product starts at 10:30 and lasts about one hour, with a maximum group size of 20.

The guided section takes you through the Casa Chacona Museum, panoramic terrace and auditorium, including the permanent Thor Heyerdahl exhibition, the Expeditions Room and a documentary. The museum presents the history of the park, cultural parallels explored by Heyerdahl and research connected with the stepped structures and Chacona Cave.

After the guided portion, the ticket continues as a self-guided visit through the Botanical Garden, outdoor routes, Sustainable Garden and An Ocean… of Plastic exhibition. The park currently opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, except 1 January and 25 December, so you can spend longer on the grounds after the one-hour tour if you wish.

The exact SKU does not include the Poison Garden or the Colonizing Polynesia exhibition. Those belong to the more complete Premium experience and should not be assumed to be part of this ticket.

The current Fly To Canarias/Tiqets price is €22.50. The guided tour starts at 10:30 and lasts about one hour. Current guide-language options shown for this SKU are English, German, French and Spanish; select an available language during booking.

The park is at Calle Chacona, s/n, 38500 Güímar, in southeast Tenerife. The official park lists public-transport options from Santa Cruz via lines 120 or 128; from the south, it recommends line 111 to Güímar and then line 120 toward the town centre. There is also parking at the park.

Current Tiqets terms allow cancellation and rescheduling until 23:59 on the day before the visit. The product supports smartphone tickets and instant delivery.

The park is an outdoor museum and botanical garden, so wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection. The official venue recommends comfortable footwear, sunscreen and a hat.

Wheelchair access is supported, with adapted routes available in the park. If you have specific accessibility requirements, confirm the most suitable route with the venue before arrival.

Food and drink are not included. The Poison Garden and Colonizing Polynesia exhibition are also excluded from this exact guided-tour ticket.
