The museum of Puyo was opened to the public in 1998 and since then its staff has worked hard to create and preserve a large collection of objects and archaeological articles found and collected throughout the province of Pastaza.
Among his most notable pieces are the funerary vessels made of Amazonian clay, the stone pieces and hand tools used by the Aboriginal people of Pastaza. Some of these pieces date back more than 2,000 years A.C.
When you visit the place you will find replicas of the different types of huts or typical houses made in their own style and functionality in each main culture of the province: Waorani, Zapara, Shuar, Achuar, and Kichwa. It is worth mentioning the variety of articles and utensils in wood, stone and clay collected, as well as the varied collection of insects and more objects of interest.
The explanations provided are very illustrative and important for students and enthusiasts of anthropology and archeology. The price is free and your visit lasts about 40 minutes. We recommend you bring a digital camera and notepad if you are a teacher, student or reporter.
