History - If you like history Then This is truly for you. I guess it could be a bit boring if not but there is audioguide so you dont have to read. I liked it a lot and of course there is the pyramides itself.

Landscape - I accidentally bought the single ticket and couldn't enter the poisonous garden, but the truth is that what I saw was still great, well maintained and with quite beautiful mountain landscapes.

Nothing more - Nice attraction. I confirm, it's expensive for what it is. 12.50 euros or 18 euros for the set. It's not the attraction of the century. More of a curiosity. It's not the first thing to do on the island. There are many other things to do

The film of the various pyramids was excellent - Only the film about the various pyramids around the world was excellent, the rest is forgettable. But the film alone made up for it

Guimar pyramid - We were disappointed, tourist trap, the little museum is nice, the garden is abandoned perhaps due to the drought and the animals that colonize them

If these are to be “pyramids”, every terrace cultivation in Tenerife is one. - My companion had already visited this park before Corona, and warned me. So I went to this archaeological park without too much expectation. We booked the cheapest ticket to avoid throwing unnecessary money down the operator's throat. My conclusion: Although it has long been scientifically refuted that the excavations are “pyramids” from the time of the Guanches, this fairy tale is retained here. In one room there are even photos of pyramids from Egypt, Mexico and Latin America. The intention here is to give the impression that the excavated walls also come from pyramids. In fact, such structures can be found almost everywhere on the island. It is a terrace extension for agriculture. Pros: The 1:1 replica of the Ra 2, and the exhibition about Thor Hyerdal. Cons: The alleged “exhibition” about plastic in the oceans turned out to be a collection of simple billboard turns. That's where my fourth graders at school design better lectures on the subject. Conclusion: Too expensive for what's shown. Visitors are deliberately left in the dark that they are NOT remains of pyramids over a thousand years old.

Trap tourists - Positive points: well maintained. Friendly pyramids. Cute chickens. Negative points: way too expensive and not very interesting. Exhibitions having neither tail nor head, with no concrete link between them. Exhibition bordering on the ridiculous "the sea of plastic" made of ugly plastic panels. The "sensory trail", a path where we are supposed to take off our shoes to walk on 50cm square of straw... The “poisonous garden” where we chose not to pay the already excessive addition to the basic ticket to access it. Well-maintained setting but with basic plants that you can see everywhere on the island.
