The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art - MAP Cusco is an experience that allows you to discover the mystical art of ancient Peru. It houses and exhibits admirable objects for its history and aesthetics, created by women and men of the Andes, more than three thousand years ago until the sixteenth century, in the territory where Peru is located nowadays. The 400 pieces exhibited in the MAP Cusco, located in the historic Casona Cabrera, a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas, are part of the collection of the Larco Museum, considered one of the best 20 museums in the world. The MAP Cusco, managed by the BBVA Foundation, offers the possibility of exploring its ten rooms with audio guides in three languages: Spanish, English and French.

This is a private museum, extremely well organized and exhibits are arranged with great care in rooms. It is recommended to first see a short film in the studio before starting your tour. All exhibits are master pieces, silver, gold, shells, wooden and ceramic sculptures. It is interesting to note that the museum has one of the finest restaurants in Cusco: MAP It is recommended to follow the visit which will last no more than two hours to the Museum of the Incas which is only about three minutes walk down towards Plaza de Armas

We are an Cultural interpretation center about how the Andean people understand the skies. The explanation in two rooms give us a great perspective, in dome we learn about southern sky and finally, if weather allows, we enjoy some stargazing!

Fantastic experience! Our guide (Ann Marie I think) was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate about the topic. Learned about the southern sky, Incan astronomy, and got to see many stars first hand using the telescope. Fascinating to see how the Incans used the stars to predict agriculture! The blankets and hot tea were much appreciated (it gets chilly up there in the wet season)!

Reviewed By AndyF430 - Devizes, United Kingdom
I only went in here by accident, thinking it was just a small church. In fact it's a museum and catacombs. S15 to get in, which includes an English-speaking guide. It's two stories with cloisters, choir, library, refectotu, chapels and a huge beautiful church. Only 3 brothers left - it once housed 180. Rebuilt/ restored after 1650 & 1950 earthquakes, but there is a LOT of original carvings & religious artwork, chests, manuscripts/ books. It also boasts one of the (allegedly) biggest paintings in South America. The church is decorated (relatively) simply but is huge & very impressive. A real find.
