Museo Carlos Dreyer — Attraction in Puno

Best museem i have seen in Peru ! The guides are very friendly and have a deep knowledge and love for the cultures of Puno, Peru. The museum guide explained about the chulpas better than our guide at Sillustini . There about 6 different cultures throughout time that roamed this area. The two main cultures are quechua and aymara. Aymara is pre Inca while quechua is often referred to as Inca, but Inca means emperor in quechua . Our guide was great at answering all our questions . There were some Northern Peru items there as well. And some unique items from subcultures of the quechua . Entrance is 10 soles per adult or 3 soles per student. That is about $2.50 - $0.74 in US dollars. Puno is the birthplace of the Ayamra and Inca / Quechua cultures. The feeling is faintly similar to Cusco but is very different and very special. The Uros tribe is also a unique tribe who lives if floating islands originally to avoid spanish, Inca, and other empires and waring tribes. Come visit Museo Carlos Dreyer ! It is close to the plaza.

The museum boasts an impressive collection of artifacts spanning different periods and cultures.

The exhibits include a diverse range of artwork, historical artifacts, and interactive displays.

One notable exhibit was the ancient pottery collection, which offered a comprehensive look into the craftsmanship of the region's indigenous peoples.

Surprisingly nice little museum! For 15 soles per person you get entry plus a guide. The guide really helped to appreciate the different pieces in the museum. You will go from ancient local civilisations to burial rituals to 20th century art. Would highly recommend a quick stop here when in Puno
