For spectacular views of Inca artifacts head over to Museo Inka. This recently renovated colonial home, run by the Universidad San Antonio de Abad, is located down an alley to the left of the Cusco Cathedral. Focused on the development of pre-Inca and Inca culture, the museum contains an intriguing collection of jewelry, ceramics, textiles, mummies, trepanned skulls, and a number of metal and gold pieces. Explanations are in English. Be sure to check out the stunning collection of miniature turquoise figures, among other examples of offerings to the gods. You may also have a chance to partake in the weaving demonstrations that take place in the courtyard. Among the attractions in Cusco, this museum is famous for housing the world’s largest collection of wooden queros, which the Incas once used for drinking. Allow 1 ½ to 2 hours to see the whole collection.
