Kenneth Lee Museum Tour

At the scheduled time, we will 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, named after the archaeologist Kenneth Lee, is dedicated to the cultures that inhabited the Moxos plains and features significant examples of Moxos culture.

Upon arrival, observe the unique circular structure built from local materials such as jatata or cuchi wood, resembling a traditional Moxeño dwelling.

Inside the museum, we will explore the craftsmanship of this pre-Columbian civilization, also known as Moxeño or Mojos. Exhibits will showcase the Moxos culture's agricultural practices, traditions, festivities, and music.

The museum displays models simulating the Moxos' hydraulic systems, domestic utensils, musical instruments, clothing, and carved masks of divinities, providing insights into the rites and traditions of the Indigenous people of the Moxos region.

We will then return to your hotel, arriving 1 hour after pickup.
