Experts' Choice Award Museo Santuarios Andinos
What the experts agree on
This museum's centerpiece is a remarkably preserved Inca mummy discovered at 6000m elevation. Experts highlight the theatrical presentation and mandatory guided tours (with English-speaking guides available), though note the expected tip at the end.
“There’s an escalating drama to this theatrically presented museum, dedicated to the preserved body of a frozen ‘mummy,’ and its compulsory guided tour (free, but a tip is expected at the end).”
