Museums
4.3/5
• 6 reviews

This museum offers a lot of information on discoveries made in 1994 and 1995, including a mummy, Juanita, "the ice princess", discovered near Arequipa, on the summit of the Ampato volcano, by Johan Reinhardt. The mummy is now exposed in a refrigerated showcase. A 20-minute film on this discovery is shown. The collection is growing month by month and makes this museum, along with the Santa Catalina monastery, an essential part of the visit to the city. The guided tour is compulsory and free (available in French). Please allow for a tip.
