Güímar

Historic site with the 6 remaining lava pyramids, dated to the 19th century. The pyramids were popularized by adventurer and publisher Thor Heyerdahl, who researched the pyramids and became the driving force behind the development of the park. The origin of the pyramids is an ongoing topic of discussion: Heyerdahl believed until his death that their origin dates back to the Guanche period, whereas excavations by the University of San Cristobal de la Laguna suggests they can be no older than the 19th century. The current hypothesis is that the pyramids are a byproduct of farming practices at the time, a result of farmers clearing potentially arable areas from volcanic rocks and piling them up in the most efficient way. The park is set up as a Thor Heyerdahl theme park. The 6 remaining pyramids with adjacent museum, a botanic garden, and garden with poisonous plants can be visited. There is an optional exposition on Polynesia, which isn't worth the extra money. The audio guide (included in the premium ticket of €18) is highly recommended, a complete visit takes about 3 hours. At the end of the visit there is a cafetaria for snacks and drinks, as well as a souvenir shop selling memoralia, post cards, and seeds of endemic Canarian flora such as the Canarian palm tree and Drago tree. The cafeteria is open from 9:30 until 17:00.

Natural Reserve consisting of several volcanic cones and basaltic lava flows, with a total area of 290 ha. The lava flows are very recent in geological time scales, dated to less than 10,000 years old. There are numerous remains from pyroclastic eruptions of ash and volcanic bombs that formed the various cones. The crater of the Montaña Grande is ca. 300 m in diameter and 50 m deep, and notably asymmetric due to the effects of wind during its formation. There is a parking lot in El Puertito near the southmost point of the park, or parking is available on the street.

Literally Big Mountain, is the largest cone, and rises 276 m above sea level.

A cave formed by a large gas bubble within a lava tube, since exposed by erosion.

A Catholic church from the mid-17th century, partially destroyed by a fire in 1775 and subsequently rebuilt.

A ravine with archaeological evidence of Guanche activity, including several Guanche mummies. There are many legends of people experiencing supernatural phenomena when visiting the ravine late in the evening or staying the night. Some people claim to have seen angels, UFOs, strange orbs or fireballs, and so on. Whatever may or may not be true of those, the natural beauty of the area makes it worth a visit. There is also industrial heritage to be discovered, with 6 mine shafts, aqueducts, and ruins of buildings spread along the length of the ravine. As of 2019, a land slide blocks the path about 100 m before the end of the ravine, restricting access. The riverbed is dry in summer. None of the mine shafts are accessible, with sings warning that the atmosphere down the shafts is not breathable.

A 11,000 m² aloe vera farm with 7,000 ecologically grown plants. There is also a shop where visitors can buy aloe vera-based products. Visitors are given a free 30-minute guided tour around the farm featuring live demonstrations that explain the 5,000-year-old history of the aloe vera plant. The tour also passes through the greenhouse, where tropical trees, aromatic plants and medicinal plants are grown. The production facilities can be visited provided that no juice or gel is being produced at the time of the visit.

A viewpoint on the approach to Güimar from the south when driving using the TF-28. It features low walls with blue ceramic tiles, a variety of cacti, and a tall bronze statue of the last Guanche king of Güímar.
