Museo Pumapungo

The museum contains exhibits across three floors, displaying indigenous artifacts, traditional costumes, historical money collections, and archaeological findings from the region.

Established in 1979 by the Central Bank of Ecuador, the museum moved to its current location in 1992 after acquiring land from the Jesuit community.

The ethnographic section presents collections from Ecuador's indigenous groups, including Shuar ceremonial objects and traditional clothing from various communities.

Located on Calle Larga between Arriaga and Huayna Capac streets, the museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 16:00.

The museum grounds include an archaeological park with Incan ruins from Tomebamba city, an ethnobotanical garden with 230 plant species, and a bird rehabilitation center.
