Through its exhibits and demonstrations, you'll be able to get closer to the Andean worldview and understand how the original peoples interpret their relationship with nature, the land, and the universe.
Afterwards, the experience continues at Casa Agave, where you'll learn about one of the most representative plants of Andean culture.
