Museum of Indigenous Amazonian Cultures
Museo de Culturas Indígenas Amazónicas
A private museum on the riverside promenade, displaying the clothing, objects and ritual items of dozens of Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, arranged by ethnic group.
The museum on the Malecón Tarapacá holds collections from dozens of Indigenous peoples across the Amazon in Peru, Brazil, Colombia and elsewhere. These include headdresses, feather ornaments, musical instruments, hunting tools and ceremonial masks. Explanations are provided in Spanish and English, and the museum is more systematic than the Amazon Museum. A visit takes about one hour. An admission ticket is required, and opening hours should be confirmed on site. It is a good idea to visit before going to an Indigenous community.
