La Palma pyramids
Other constructions in the island of La Palma

If the Palmero Guanches did indeed build 12 pyramids of stone on La Palma it seems likely that most have been demolished just like this has happened on Tenerife, where if the same system had been used there would have been pyramids built in each of the nine kingdoms there.  However, there is a pyramid located above Cancajos near the capital of Santa Cruz that still stands today. It is in the Aridane valley and known as the El Paso Pyramid. Although it is a relatively small construction it appears to be a stepped pyramid like those in Tenerife.

The pyramids on both islands are not recognised as historical monuments and so are not protected by law. Only the ones in Güímar are safe because they are on the land that Olsen bought and which now forms the Ethnographic Park.

It seems evident that what is really needed is a properly funded investigation into these pyramids by a non-biased team of archaeologists.  Those in Tenerife have already decided the constructions are just heaps of rocks so they are not interested, and yet the majority of people who view these pyramids think they are a lot more than what the academics say.
