The only museum that specializes in archeology of the Andes mountains, this museum is located in a 15th century manor house with five different exhibition halls and a small souvenir shop. The museum presents videos related to the discovery of mummies. The mummies themselves are not here all year because they are sometimes taken on international exhibitions. With luck, however, you will see the famous mummy known as "Juanita, the Lady of Ampato". Admission is 15 soles. Guides are available in in Spanish, English, French, Italian, and German.
