(Plaza de Armas; adult/child S5/1; 8:30am-5:15 Tue-Sat, 9am-2pm Sun) This small but interesting
museum houses the largest collection of ancient stone sculptures in South America, as
well as a few mummies, some trepanned skulls and a garden of stone monoliths from the
Recuay (400 BC-AD 600) and Wari cultures (AD 600-1100).

JIRÓN JOSÉ OLAYA
East of town on the right-hand side of Raymondi a block beyond Confraternidad, this
thoroughfare is the only street that has remained intact through the earthquakes. It
provides a glimpse of what old Huaraz looked like. Go on Sunday when a street market
sells regional foods.

MIRADOR DE RETAQEÑUA
This lookout is about a 45-minute walk southeast of the center and has great views of the
city and its mountainous backdrop. It's best to take a S8 taxi here.
