Museo de las Américas: Explore the Cultural Heritage of the Americas

Discover a comprehensive overview of cultural evolution in the Americas at the Museo de las Américas, highlighting indigenous, African, and European influences. Four permanent exhibits thoughtfully blend art, history, and anthropology. The slavery exhibit is profoundly moving, featuring a recreated slave ship journey. Audiovisual displays and expert guides enhance every visit, complemented by rotating temporary exhibitions and a store with books, jewelry, and artwork.

Every Saturday at 2 PM, enjoy workshops (US$1) introducing folk arts of the Americas—designed for children but open to all; reservations recommended. For authentic purchases, attend Domingo de Artesanos on the first Sunday of each month, where local artisans showcase and sell their creations.
