She
wanted to drink coffee in peace and eat some delicious cakes in cafeteria and
chat with the boss of the caffe bar named Armando. I though it may be
interesting to see some mummies and skulls instead Armando, so I went in
sightseeing. The ticket is very economical.
The first room is full of projectors which are showing how Canary Islands
were formed through centuries. Its also showing the occurrence of natural
forces, plants, bugs and animals in the island.
In other floors you can see
volcanic rocks, sand and minerals (but very big, such as amethyst, rozen quartz
and many others). Reportedly, the minerals have great healing power.

You can see artificial canarian bugs, birds, reptiles and
other animals in natural sizes You can also find diversity of plants. And of course, everything is
explained in detail on Spanish and English. The archeology part is very
interesting. There are archaeological findings of Guanches-the natives from
Canarias. Many skulls, mammies, tools, pots. There is a legend about Guanches
that says they were descendants of Atlantis (lost continent where people were
highly developed technological and spiritual). Not many proofs are left about
them, that is why there are many assumptions, which are hard to proof. After my
museum tour, I picked my friend at the caffe and we went back to Adeje (south)
with the bus. If you are coming to this island for the first time and will stay
for a while, maybe the excursion is the best solution for you or you can rent a car and travel randomly wherever you want to. The choice is upon you.
