odd things like the coneheads, ancient craniotomy

Sep 2019

I was part of a group tour so I had to come here. But, I got to see some elonagated skulls(cone heads); not they are not aliens from outer space but some type of ritual practiced long time ago.. The people drilled holes in the skull to relieve the pressure from a head injury. If you are into historical things, you may enjoy this place. The museum is rather small so you can walk through it within a hour.. They do have clean bathrooms.

Not Impressive

Jun 2019 • Friends

The intention was there, to educate or inform the public or tourist of history and the formation of the site. It was too modern and very few artifacts to impress me. It is also very small. It costs 15 soles to enter. Well, it is a start to learn about the history of the area.
TA asks if ID is requested. Answer: Our guide bought our tickets.

Just keep on driving

This is a joke of a place. The Paracas culture happens to be one of Peru's keystone cultures with a phenomenal heritage in pottery and textiles. But this museum is a joke. We walked in and out within 10 minutes (including the toilet break) with long faces. Best go to the Museo Antropologico in Lima to get a true look at this amazing culture before you spend any time in this rather empty building

Informative site

Dec 2018 • Solo

I only visited the archeological museum, not the building with info. about the reserve, for lack of time.
The site gave a nice overview of early cultures in the region. There was information about skull trepination and deformation, and pottery and textiles. All quite nice, but then I have seen all these aspects in other museums around Nasca, Cusco, and Lima too.

Interesting Information on the Reserve

Aug 2018 • Couples

The visit of the Museo belonged to our one day trip: we had 20 minutes to get through. The museum is very interesting. One should have a bit more time.
