Unique place to touch the true knowledge about the sacredness of the coca plant, its beneficial applications and distorted misuses. Rare collection of magnificent costumes and account of the traditional ways of aymara people. Do not miss it.

Really cool museum! Everything is in spainish as well as English, 20 soles per person is a bit steep, but I thought it was worth it

A great small museum in the heart of Puno where you can learn about the traditional uses of the coca leave and it's place in the Peruvian history.
Even more interestingly, you can see examples of the different costumes and dances that are part of the folklore of the region. The museum owner can tell you a lot about local traditions and how they are celebrated today.
Highly recommend visiting this museum while in Puno!

Not only are the exhibits extremely interactive and fun, but the staff is beyond friendly and do a great job of explaining things.

AWESOME PLACE! The history of the folklore and coca is just breathtaking,100% recommend

Super ingesting museum where you can understand how important was and is coca for the andean culture. Also you learn about other interesting historical facts as well as the properties and benefits of coca for the human body. If it wasn't enough two engaging and more contemporaneous topics as how is cocaine made and the origin of coca cola. Last but not least an explanation and exhibition of different dances and costumes of the andean's folklore

I loved getting to know a little about coca and all its importance for the Andean population!

Very detailled replica of a drug user, as seen in the photo. Movie was very exciting, mainly because of the sound effects.
