Pyramids & Esperanza Forest
Discover the Theories Behind Mysterious Ancient Structures Take a scenic ride through the forest en route to the Pyramids of Güímar. The Esperanza Forest is a picturesque landscape of vast pine and eucalyptus trees—some of which stand more than 130 feet tall—that are often shrouded in mist. Stop to admire a view above the tree tops of Mt. Teide, a distant volcano. Arrive at Güímar and take a guided tour of the pyramids. Composed of lava stone and dating back to around the 19th century BC, the six remaining terraced structures are shrouded in mystery. Discover the theories behind their existence while viewing a short movie, and then relax and enjoy a refreshing glass of sangria or juice. Use your free time to tour the Casa Chacona Museum before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
