The Pyramids of Guimar are similar to the pyramids of Egypt, Peru and Mexico. They were first excavated in the 1990s by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. The six pyramids are built in large steps with a ceremonial flat platform on the top, reached by a small staircase. Built by the Guanches, the pyramids are aligned with the summer and winter solstices. There is a visitor centre with a museum on the site.
