Pirámides de Güímar

El parque cultural de las Pirámides de Güímar ofrece a todos los visitantes la posibilidad de visitar seis auténticas pirámides escalonadas e informar asimismo del origen desconocido de las mismas.
Además de la riqueza natural de las pirámides, los visitantes pueden deleitarse visitando el museo que en cuyo interior se encuenta, donde además de ver el concensuado análisis tras haber realizado una serie de excavaciones en varias pirámides se analizan los restos allí encontrados viéndose todo el proceso y las medidas que se llevaron a cabo para realizar tan costoso trabajo tras una filmación. Esto y mucho más por descubrir en uno de los museos arqueológicos más importantes de la isla.
Objeto de visita también lo es una inmensa carpa de navegación dónde se pueden ver una serie de embarcaciones hechas de junco, el mismo procedente del lago Titicaca, las cuáles fueron utilizadas en diversas travesías por el famoso antropólogo Thor Heyerdahl.

No debéis dejar el parque sin antes ver un documental donde nos relata toda la historia de las Pirámides de Güímar, la relación que éstas tienen con las embarcaciones de junco y con el Dios del Sol...

Über die Herkunft gibt es verschiedene Theorien:
• Die Bauern haben ein Steinhaufen um die Felder gefunden und dass diese Bauen nur 200 oder 300 Jahren alt gewessen hat.

Version English "Pirámides de Güímar"

Firstly you can visit the Museum "Casa Chacona"inside a typical Canarian house from the 19th century. It´s one of the biggest houses in the town. It has been restored because it was in very bad conditions. The only thing that differents from the original house is the inner part.

In the panoramic terrace we can see the main complex with the other four pyramids, the smallest can not be seen from here because it is behind the pyramid at the bottom. All of them have volcanic stones but with their flat side out because they have been cut as well as the stones on the corner that coincide. Here we have two squares like other pyramids throughout the world, one on the left and another on the right. If we stay on the wall on the rigt side of the pyramid in the middle, we can see the double setting of the sun. If we stay in the middle of the square on the right, we can see the other optical alignment. The natural cave behind the pyramid at the end of the complex. The only pyramid that has been partially rebuilt is Pyramidnumber 5, that was smaller some time ago and only had 2 or 3 steps. The others, however, haven´t been totally reconstructed. The only thing we did was the cleaning of the terraces around the pyramids that were cultivated and there were some stones on the ground because they are loose and there´s no cement between the stones.

In the navigation tent there are copies of all the boats on which Dr. Heyerdahl navigated. Kon-Tiki is perhaps the most famous. In 1947 he went from Peru to the Polinesia in 101 days and he crossed 8000 kilometres on a raft made of balsa wood.

In 1969 he tried to croos the Atlantic from Marocco to Barbados in the Caribbean. But he was unsuccesful. When he was near the islandof Barbados th back part of the boat broke down because he was on the tied as the front part. However, he could be satisfied because he was on the boat 52 days and many people thought that these boats would sink after 2 weeks of navigation. One year later in 1970 he repeated again the same voyage and this time he succeeded because he changed some things like the way from Lake Titicaca while the builders of RAI were from Lake Chad in Africa. His last boat is Tigris because in 1977 he went out from River Tigris, crossed the Indian Ocean and stopped at Djibouti next to the mouth of the Red Sea. When he arrived there he burnt the boat because he wanted to protest agains the pollution of the sea and the conflicts of the area.
