Museo Ritos Andinos, Cusco Region, Peru
3.5 (50 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Andahuaylillas Speciality Museums
Interesting stop
Displays of numerous petroglyphs and other historical finds, while mostly emphasizing the rites used by ancient cultures of skull deformation, interesting in that the Flathead Indians in the western U.S.A. followed the same pattern. Like foot-binding by the Japanese, stretched lips with inserted disks in certain African tribes, etc., it makes one wonder why "deformations" have played an important role in so many cultures around the world through history.

Alien??
The major attraction is the "Wayqui" alien found somewhere in Peru by the owner. But is it a real alien?? It is an interesting skeleton.

Takes less than 10 minutes
This was just outside the cathedral to walk through. Basically its a collection of local oddities that would appear to play into local legends of aliens. Left for you to be the judge, its a quick walk around in a courtyard of some skeletons and artifacts from the locals. Interesting to look.
