The famous mummy Juanita, also called the Ice Maiden, can be admired at the Santuarios Andinos Museum

In 1995, during an ascent of Mount Ampato (at 6380 meters of altitude), Johan Reinhard, an American archaeologist and his Peruvian climbing partner Zarate, during an expedition financed by the National Geographic Magazine, found inside the summit crater a bundle that had fallen down from an Inca site when the ridge had collapsed due to the melting caused by volcanic ash that has fallen from the nearby erupting volcano of Sabancaya. To their astonishment, the bundle turned out to contain a remarkably well-preserved mummy of a young girl. In addition, they found—strewn about the mountain slope down which the mummy had fallen—many items that had been left as offerings to the Inca gods, such as statues and food items. She laid wrapped in textiles in the fetal position surrounded by scattered pottery shards, llama bones, corn kernels, cloth pieces and a small spondylus shell figurine.
A couple of days later, the mummy and the objects were taken to Arequipa; the remains of the mummy were initially kept in a special refrigerator.
