Tenerife’s Pirámides de Güímar Launches Interactive 'Bird Trail' for Families

Families visiting Tenerife have a new way to explore the island’s natural beauty at the Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park. The park has just launched the "Bird Trail," an educational route designed to teach younger visitors about the archipelago’s diverse birdlife and the importance of protecting the environment.

The trail is more than just a walk; it is an interactive experience led by a character named "Federico." Through this guided search, children learn to identify local bird species and discover how the island’s plants and animals rely on one another to survive in a fragile ecosystem.

In addition to the self-guided tour, visitors can book workshops led by experts. These sessions include hands-on activities like building bird shelters and scavenger hunts. While these are typically offered in Spanish and English, the park can arrange sessions in German or French upon request. This initiative reflects a growing trend in Canary Islands tourism, which is increasingly focused on sustainable, active, and responsible travel.

For those looking to spend more time in nature, the park also features a "Sensory Trail." This area encourages "grounding"—the practice of walking barefoot on natural surfaces like sand, soil, and grass to feel more connected to the earth. By combining cultural history with environmental education, the Pirámides de Güímar continues to offer unique, hands-on learning experiences for all its visitors.
