Leimebamba museum

The museum displays over 200 mummies recovered from Laguna de los Condores, alongside textiles, ceramics, and tools from pre-Columbian civilizations.

In 1997, archaeologists discovered ancient burial sites at Laguna de los Condores, leading to the establishment of this museum in 2000.

The collection presents numerous quipus, an Inca communication system of knotted cords, illustrating the mathematical and record-keeping methods of ancient societies.

The museum opens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM and features guided tours, a garden with 100 orchid species, and a cafe.

The facility maintains carefully controlled temperature and humidity conditions to preserve the mummies in their original crouched positions within wooden sarcophagi.
