THE HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE STEPPED STRUCTURES OF TENERIFE
Did you know that the pyramids are oriented to the solstices?
During your tour of the different galleries, you can discover the construction details of the stepped structures and the scientific research carried out in the pyramid complex and in the Chacona Cave. Precisely, in 1991, scientists from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias discovered and confirmed the alignment of the pyramids with the summer and winter solstices. Interesting, right? Come and experience the Casa Chacona Museum at your own pace!
