Pyramids of Güímar

The Pyramids of Güímar are six stepped stone structures located on Tenerife, Canary Islands. Built from volcanic lava, their precise purpose is still debated, but they are generally believed to be ancient agricultural or ceremonial platforms rather than true pyramids like those in Egypt. Their construction involves stacking lava blocks without mortar, highlighting local volcanic materials. Researchers explore their possible connection to pre-Hispanic cultures and their potential astronomical or ritual significance. The site includes the Ethnographic Park, where visitors can learn about these structures and their historical context, making it a notable example of indigenous or early human ingenuity in the Canary Islands.
