These are real shrunken heads at Museo #Pumapungo. There are multiple scenes of everyday life of the indigenous people of the region in the museum. Definitely worth the visit for the heads alone! #Cuenca #Ecuador #travel 🇪🇨

KAÑARIS identidad y persistencia La sala Kañaris: Identidad y Persistencia es el resultado de la implementación de una política institucional a largo plazo, que aspira a posicionar y reconocer un legado cultural milenario. Este espacio es un homenaje a la riqueza de la cultura Kañari, cuya memoria histórica ha sido poco difundida en los relatos historiográficos oficiales del Ecuador. El esfuerzo por destacar y preservar esta herencia busca, no solo dar visibilidad a una de las culturas originarias más antiguas e importantes de los Andes ecuatorianos, sino también reivindicar su aporte fundamental en la construcción de la identidad nacional. La cultura Kañari, con su conocimiento ancestral, su cosmovisión y su resistencia frente a las adversidades históricas, representa un ejemplo vivo de la persistencia y la dignidad cultural. Esperamos que esta muestra sea un paso firme y motive la investigación y difusión del mundo Kañari, para saldar esta deuda histórica con su memoria social. Monserrath Tello Directora de Museo Nuclear Pumapungo
