Although it's located on an unassuming side street, the Museo del Poncho calls out with its multicolored MAS flags, both on the building front and in the main square (a couple blocks up, it has directional arrows to follow). This museum is a new addition to Copacabana, providing an extensive introduction to Andean culture and indigenous textiles, including, as you might guess from the museum's name, the poncho. The histories of the goods on display are described in both English and Spanish.
