At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Trinidad and head to the north of the city to explore the Kenneth Lee Ethno-Archaeological Museum.

This institution is named after the archaeologist Kenneth Lee, who studied the cultures of the Moxos plains. The museum houses significant examples of Moxos culture.

Upon arrival, you will notice the unique circular structure, built from materials like jatata or cuchi wood, resembling a traditional Moxeño dwelling.

Inside the museum, you'll explore the craftsmanship of the pre-Columbian civilization, also known as Moxeño or Mojos. The exhibits showcase the Moxos culture's agricultural knowledge, traditions, festivities, and music.

In the museum, you will find models simulating the Moxos' hydraulic systems, domestic utensils, musical instruments, clothing, and carved masks of divinities, which illustrate the rites and traditions of the Indigenous people of the Moxos region.

After the visit, you'll be taken back to your hotel, arriving approximately 1 hour after pickup.
