Kenneth Lee Museum Tour

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

This institution was named after the archaeologist Kenneth Lee, who dedicated his life to studying the cultures that inhabited the Moxos plains. The building houses prominent examples of Moxos culture in the country.

Upon arrival, you'll notice the unique circular structure, built from materials abundant in the region, such as jatata or cuchi wood. It resembles a traditional Moxeño dwelling.

Inside the museum, we'll explore the craftsmanship of this pre-Columbian civilization, also known as Moxeño or Mojos. Each exhibit will take us on a journey through the Moxos culture's agricultural practices, traditions, festivities, and music.

The museum features models simulating the Moxos' hydraulic systems, along with domestic utensils. We will see musical instruments, clothing, and carved masks of divinities, providing insight into the rites and traditions of the Indigenous people in the Moxos region.

After the tour, we will take you back to your hotel, arriving 1 hour after pickup.
