It has 2 museums one inside and one outside. It's free. Outside you walk at your own pace , it has some ruin a little poo ark llamas you can feed and a small garden that shows what was grown now and back then a small botanical garden and a small birds refuge. The whole place is very picturesque.
The indoor museum is pretty small but pretty cool. There is an excellent mural on the wall, a variety of ancient artifacts displayed on the other walls, and a super cute exhibit of the region's history told through miniatures or diorama type setups replete with terrain, structures, and little figurines going about daily life in different historical periods. As a budding miniaturist architect myself (take me down to Tiny Town), I sure enjoyed this playful little representations of the past. But the best part of the museum is the outdoor area. There are ancient ruins, llamas you can walk right up to, big birds (sadly) trapped in small cages, beautiful garden areas, little sitting places, a little pond with some ducks in it, good views of the city. It's a really lovely place to spend a couple hours. There's no entrance fee, either, so there's no reason not to go to Pumapungo! It's good, dog.
Closed because of COVID. Not sure why a garden would be closed
Really cool place to start your adventure in Cuenca Ecuador because it gives you an idea of the whole culture of Ecuador not just Cuenca. The garden and birds that they keep here are really nice, it's small but worthwhile. They also keep a few llamas and you can get up close to them.
Interesting place to discover more about the culture of Ecuador and explore some important archeological Canari and Inka sites , here is where the last Inka king Huayna Capac is believed was born.
Very interesting museum, especially etnologia at first floor.
Well done exhibits of the width and spand of culture and development of Ecuador. A delightful visit.
