Mausolea of Revash – Museum of Leymebamba (Full day) from USD $ 63

Ravesh’s Mausolea are rectangular-shaped funerary chullpas, with 1 and 2 floors and double-slanted roofs, built on inaccessible cliffs, in caves carved in the rocky walls of out-jutting rocks and imposing precipices, and are collective sepultures, as evidenced by the bone remains they still contain.

It is estimated that their construction dates back between 1100 and 1300 A.D. and it belongs to the Chachapoya culture. Leymebamba’s Museum is composed of three exhibition halls which shelter the material salvaged from the Condors´Lagoon area, consisting of more than 200 mummies and archeological pieces; such as decorated gourds, ceramics, bamboo recipients, woven bags, ear pendants, woodden combs, capes made of cotton, quipus and others objects of interest.

The Leymebamba Museum Association, composed of local inhabitants and the Mallqui Center NGO promote the permanence of this important museum.
